Yeah that's pretty much it. I get that it's not a good idea but I could see myself using them for old electronics that have just gotten worn down after cleaning them like you mentioned. Stuff I'm probably not going to invest time or money into repairing.
Like a micro USB cord with larger and more aggressive clips for example.
It's kind of like dealing with a bolt that doesn't want to loosen by adding more force. It might work or make things a lot worse but it's a "right now" solution
Sure, the thing is, to extend the analogy, you are asking for there to be slightly smaller nuts. Nuts that for reasons imperceptible to the eye, won't fit good bolts. Nuts for which a manufacturer would have to build new machines to make.
It given that you expect to import it via Ali express, it is no more 'a just now' solution than doing the job right.
Once I'm at that point I wouldn't really be looking for that kind of precision. Just something roughly in that range.
Every so often I stumble across cables that are a tad thicker than others (usually they came with cheap electronics) so I know they are floating around out there. They're just not labelled as being this way.
