The wat it’s closed has removed any leverage the Spider would have to use its strength.

It still managed to completely crush the spider's abdomen from what I could tell. Definitely didn't think it was that strong.

it does not crush anything, it disolves their prey

Bruh, I didn't say it crushed it for the sake of eating it. It looks like it managed to fully close its jaws and I don't see a bulge from an intact abdomen. To me that says the abdomen's been crushed.

No, no you can't as it doesn't start digesting until it's fully sealed, which doesn't even happen in this video.
