I agree. I work with thermocouples like this for a living and this happens
Actually the shrink wrap may make things worse as it may not allow the moisture to dry and can trap it in the probe.
I took high temp silicone sealant and worked it into the braiding of the wire and onto the probe.
So far its working. I dont know if there is a perfect solution or not. I just keep the probes away from moisture as good as I can
