But if these are actually new players, not walkers, it's pretty silly for them to be buying the button anyway. A better solution is to let them both post inbetween if that is allowed in your room. Then they could both play right away, in a hand with one SB and three BBs, but neither would get to be the button next hand, it would pass to seat 9.
While not every room allows buying the button, in my experience there are far fewer room which allow posting between the blinds and the button. Plus since neither will get to be the button, if the room doesn't require new players to post, I expect both would then sit out one hand and come in behind the button for free.
Even better switch to a moving button, require posting and then just post away before, behind, between, on the button, wherever.
