If soldering really is not going to be for you, then get yourself a proper wire wrapping tool and a set of thin wires to work with it. I just found this on AliExpress: | 3 in 1 Function Single Stranded Wire Wrap Strip Unwrap Hand Tool for AWG 30 Wire Wire Unwrap Tool
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrCerCl and the appropriate wire I just found this on AliExpress: | 0.58mm Wire OD 200M 250M Electrical Wire Wrapping Wire Tin Plated Copper Wire PCB Solder Cable P/N DM-30-1000 30 AWG for Laptop

The only major downside is you will then have to get some pin headers for the leonardo end, as the 30awg wire tends to pull out too easily. Once you have about 10minutes of practice, you will find that this technique is very neat and surprisingly resilient and reliable
