Help in fixing Teensy port.

We are building a product line of robots using micro-ROS with the Teensy 4.1. One recurring issue we’ve faced is that the USB port on the Teensy appears to be quite fragile. During firmware uploads, the port or its pins tend to get damaged easily. So far, we have damaged the ports on three different Teensy 4.1 boards.


Is there a reliable solution to prevent this issue or make the setup more robust?
 
If there is enough space for that, you could use an extension cable with a mountable socket. This way there is not much stress on the port on the Teensy board because it stays plugged in there. If the socket in the extension cable is damaged, the cable can be replaced.

Something like that:
