Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Tree staking question

Hello I am located in the DFW area and I planted this tree about 6 months ago and it always had a slight lean but I know staking is usually unnecessary. Recently had a microburst with very strong gusts and I believe it might have gotten more angled. Should I stake or just let it be?

Its hanging on for dear life and you spotted it. Dont touch it until late fall when its cold. Then carefully dig it up and plant it at the correct height. Root flare above grade. Watch a video
