Melted Needle, was able to get solution out. Any chance of success?

Okay so when I was flame sterilizing my needle for the first time doing a set of BRF jars, the tip melted and no solution would come out. I discovered that I could inject for 10 seconds or so after flaming the tip, I guess because metal expands under heat, creating enough room for the water to get out. After that, nothing would come out, no matter how much I pushed on the plunger. I was able to knock up 2 holes a jar and finish the syringe. My question is: is there any hope the space created by heating the tip of the needle was enough for spores to get through? I think I might be boned on this one and that was my last syringe...

Dont know, it shipped with the syringe. If I had to guess I would say 16 Guage, but thats a wild guess based on the one time I had to buy needles for syringes.

Spores are microscopic, I'd be surprised if nothing grew
