It helps a lot to make a practice of wrapping the cable in a way that reduces stress. Apologies if you already do this, but maybe it will help someone else. Image here[1].

i've been wrapping my cables in a strain-free way (similar to the way they ship it in the box) for the entire time i have used my charger and somehow the shielding near the charger still breaks. they definitely need better cables.
