Reducing wear and tear on blade side Neopixel contacts

[Ris Liam]

Dear saber builders and fans,

I have a Neopixel saber, and I started to notice that the pins on the hilt side are cutting down through the gold contacts to what appears to be the plastic substrate on the blade side PCB connector. I am concerned that over time the connecting pads will become worn out and run out of good places to connect. Is their a way to refresh these or place a new pad onto the blade side PCB connector? I was thinking of a more solid copper ring like system to simply place over the top of the existing blade side connector that the pins can't more easily dig through. I am guessing this would have to be done before the pad was completely gone of course.
