For what it's worth, no matter how much "modification" you make to the either the slide catch or the slide, you'll still face the same issue. THAT part is always high stress point. The reason is that you are riding two sharp parts along each other.
ALL pistols operate this way. Even in the real steel world. The determining factor of its lifespan is always down to the operator. That is, it's always down to how the USER uses this function. Slingshotting the slide will pro long the lifespan.
So... the better word it...
To fix YOUR problem, you'd have to fix how YOU operate the contraption...
