Sounds like you need a Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse. The scrollwheel click is software and button controllable (uses an electromagnet I think)
That mouse is very expensive. There are similar smooth scroll wheels on many other, cheaper, Logitech models.

I've recently installed https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroll_anywhe... in middle+right click mode, and now miss it everywhere I don't have it (Reader Mode, PDFs, etc.). Unfortunately development looks a bit inactive, and there's no option for locking scrolling into vertical-only if you begin a scroll by dragging vertically.
You feel every click, and it is translated to aproximately a three line scroll in the document.
It is a very discrete signal, instead of a continuous signal.
Touchpads have this right, the scroll is very smooth, and you can scroll by tiny amounts if you want.
In a way, it is a limitation of the 25+ years old technology. Why it has not been updated to something smoother is a mystery to me.
