Interesting. I have a similar issue, but rather than destroying the headphone jack on the phone (iPhone 5s and SE), I've been destroying the 3.5mm connector on the headphone. Since the headphones I used ranged from $80 to $150, I got real sick of broken headphones. My solution was purchase these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZK43S4Q/ in bulk. I get about 3-4 months out of each adapter, when it flakes out, I toss it and install the next one. So far, so good, I've gotten a 15 months out of my latest set of headphones so far.
