What are some ways net positive muon catalyzed fusion can be realized?

Click For Summary
Muon-catalyzed fusion remains a complex topic, with current technology indicating that it leads to an endothermic process. The potential for using muons in different fusion configurations, such as deuterium-lithium fusion, faces significant challenges. Heavier elements in fusion reactions exacerbate the issue of muons being trapped by nuclei, preventing effective fusion. In a deuterium-lithium mixture, most muons are absorbed by lithium, hindering their ability to initiate fusion. Overall, advancements in muon fusion science since 2018 have not significantly altered these fundamental challenges.

Minute physics made an interesting video for laymen describing the feasibility of muon catalyzed fusion, specifically stating that the current state of technology would lead to an endothermic process. I was wondering if it would be possible to use muons in different fusion configurations, for example using muons in deuterium lithium fusion. Basically, has the muon fusion science advanced at all since that video was made back in 2018?

For reference:

 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Helium is the lightest element you can create in fusion reactions and deuterium+tritium is among the most energetic fusion processes. Even there you have the problem that muons stay at the produced nucleus too often. Introducing heavier elements will make that much worse. With a deuterium/lithium mixture most muons will be caught by lithium where they can't initiate any fusion reaction.
 
What type of energy is actually stored inside an atom? When an atom is split—such as in a nuclear explosion—it releases enormous energy, much of it in the form of gamma-ray electromagnetic radiation. Given this, is it correct to say that the energy stored in the atom is fundamentally electromagnetic (EM) energy? If not, how should we properly understand the nature of the energy that binds the nucleus and is released during fission?
