Two things occur to me:

(1) Maybe if you thought of it more of a touch and hold rather than tap and hold. Just gently touch the word you want defined until it's highlighted, then release and let the dictionary define it.

(2) If your finger finger is covering more than one word at a time, perhaps changing to a larger font would make the touch and hold process more accurate.
