My routine was weak at first because I was scared and everything kinda hurt, so I took it easy even though at the time I remember thinking I was cranking on it. It's all about how much you can tolerate without hurting yourself. Now, years later, I can do things to my dick that I never would've imagined even trying before years of PE. Everything is strengthened and tolerant, more muscular and pain free.
I saw newbie gains within the first month of starting PE, but then I hit a plateau early so I had to learn to just keep going and put away the ruler. The best advice I can give anyone when they ask "how long will it take" is just put away the calender and put away the ruler and just exercise, exercise, exercise. Alot of time will pass, just be patient, and suddenly you'll be like "holy shit my dick is a good inch longer than last year".
The grip thing I think comes with practice too. Make sure you do it while completely flaccid and your hands are dry, that helps. You can try kegeling some blood into your head, squeezing it off and then using the bulbous head as an anchor to pull on. The longer you do PE, the easier it will become. I've seen some guys say they have luck with baby powder or latex gloves for grip
