" No one ever tried to tell me the camel through the eye of the needle story was about a real miraculous camel who could squeeze through tight spaces. "

That's why it is not something to be taken literally.
Jesus was trying to make a point with a mental picture of how it's more difficult for a rich man to make it to heaven because his heart is on his wealth than on God then it is for a camel to be squeezed through the eye of a needle.
He was making contrasts of 2 different things.
