That's not a half bad idea.  I'll give it a shot- maybe it'll work...

Most crimps will be too large for the final app- ultimately, the smallest
IR LED I could find will be soldered to the end and it'll be hung on a
mouse (!).  However, dipping the end in a blob of molten solder may
have the desired effect, both tinning the end and causing the
insulation to melt and shrink away from the end.
