Maxed out the coupe door handle adjustment, now what?!?!

Maybe these were only designed to last 20 years and this was the magic year for my '92 coupe, but I'm all out of threads on the adjuster rod for my door handle and it's gone uncooperative again. What's the next step with these? I tried bending the rod with some vise grips but couldn't make that work either.

i've done the rod bending trick before.... disconnected the handle, grabbed a c-clamp and more or less straightened the final bend in the rod so that it would reach higher... seems to have worked, but i don't know if i'll attempt it again.

I`d love to just replace the door that has a regular handle, i hate fucking with these things. If you drill a hole and mount a small roller wheel in the brass thing that slides up and down on the lever they dont have as much stress and the brass piece wont "shave off" the metal on the black lever with the wieght at the end of it. Current project.
