You will not cause "damage" by turning the engine over with the starter
motor. I would pull out all the spark plugs and pull the fuse for (or
otherwise disable) the fuel injection and then spin the engine with the
starter motor until the oil pressure is raised. Give it a good 10 - 15
seconds several times waiting for the starter motor to cool between
bursts. Then pop the plugs back in, re-enable the fuel injection and
fire that puppy up.
