Limp seedling

Hi all, just a tiny problem.
I have four ak47s that have been planted in jiffy pellets. All four have taken but one is limp and bent right over. The question is do I just leave it and let it right itself, i.e let its stem get bigger and stronger itself or do I help it with a stick to prop it up. Or do I run the risk of the bottom part of the stem never recovering as it has had help with the stick?

If it's not damped off.

Use a toothpick to hold it up.

Then, plant all of them deep. Just about right to the starter leaves (cotyledons). You'll get better rooting out of that stem under the soil.
