With no airflow over the cylinders the CHT probe is not necessarily telling you the hottest temperature. With stagnant air there could be undected hotspots creating all sorts of ugly things to be happening to the cylinders. Cooking cylinders to get the oil to warm up a bit quicker could be a pyrrhic victory! Oil lubricates despite it's temperature - its the high pressure that is the problem and usually only through the oil cooler as the cooling vanes in these are the weakest link with regards to excess pressure. Hoses in correct condition and the engine itself can handle much higher pressures than redline. Try using multi-grade, clicking oil pump PRV down a notch. With single weight oils temperature is just a good proxy for pressure. Stand to be corrected on any of this.
