How do I light this menorah with such small candle holders?

Asked this question a week or so ago in the discord, but didn’t get any helpful advice so I thought I’d post on the subreddit since there’s a bigger audience. About a month ago my grandmother told me about a menorah she was given as a child in Latvia by her Mom. It probably hasn’t been used in close to 80 years and this Hanukah I’d like to light it. Problem is the candle holders are ~0.4cm in diameter and the shamash holder is even less. 0.4cm candles exist (even though they’re expensive), but I have no idea how I’m gonna find a candle that fits the shamash holder, does anyone have any ideas of creative ways to light? Candles with a really tapered/pointed base, put small glass bowls of oil on top of each holder, something else? Would really appreciate any ideas, thanks everyone
