What I did was from the underside of the boot, I wrapped the stick several times with electric tape so that the top of the boot wouldn't sag anymore.

I don't have that problem with my chrome hurst stick, I did however shorten and re-thread it for the white ball though. If that's not an option, you could just try putting a tight fitting rubber grommit on the stick, under the top of the shift boot. They can be found in bins at home improvement chains in various sizes.
