Also, use an overbite-style lead cutter. This produces a flat trimmed lead that is not sharp.

Trimmed thru hole component leads are typically sharp. Poke right thru
most materials under vibration.
Nothing will be better than more distance. Trim the leads shorter,
increase the distance between the cover and the leads... maybe stiffen
the cover... (prevent flexing).
As a last resort... Spray/coat the inside of the cover with hard epoxy
based coating... wet processes are variable and not as repeatable from
part to part... require special handling, masking, etc... not cheap,
uses costly touch labor... less than reliable.
Could you use a non-conductive cover?
Low voltage apps can use 'fish paper'... I never really knew the
material well because we didn't decide to use it in any applications I
ran into... But I know it was used in the automotive and radio
industries for many years. Kapton was preferred in most applications,
still is... it is durable and can be applied easily, die-cut with
adhesive backing... Will not prevent the leads from poking thru it
though for long...
Maybe you can etch the cover with indentations or holes to clear the
leads?
Just a few thoughts based upon what I 'think' you are trying to do...
