So I'm very large and strong, I think I may be the cause of this. But does anyone know of a strong replacement? I'm capable of installing it myself, but my cursory Google search turned up nil for "strong game sticks"(let the jokes flow)

Just curious if I'm stuck playing d-pad game.

The stick on your switch just needs a new stick cover. They're plenty of styles and a dime-a-dozen, so just replace it when it wears down. Don't play rough with your switch until you get that otherwise you will break the stem like your 3ds and then need to replace the whole stick. Replacement sticks are available, I don't think they make them in with anything other than plastic.
