There is just the one and only way to get past this stage and that is play, play, play and play some more. Call it practice if you want, I prefer play ... it sounds (and is) much more fun.
The pain will go away, the callouses will thicken, the fingers will spread and obey, it will all happen, so long as you keep playing. There is probably nothing more unnatural for your hands to do than press wires against a plank of wood with one and adjust their length with the other ... and be musical about it. It's as big a challenge as they come. That's what makes it so neat when you do.
Just keep playing!
