Hi, @dogman!
A few other ideas:
1. I find that my fretting is very sensitive to the position of my thumb on the neck – my instinct is to have my thumb farther towards the headstock (or wrapped over the top of the neck), but on the difficult chords if I am conscious to move my thumb to the area of the neck right behind where I’m trying to put the pressure, I have a lot more strength in the fretting fingers. Experiment with that a little and see if you get any mileage from it…
2. You could also tune the guitar a half step down and then put a capo on fret 1, which reduces the string tension and brings the strings a little closer to the fretboard.
3. If you have chonky strings, you could try a lighter gauge, although sometimes that requires some adjustments to the neck depending on the guitar
And sometimes things might just be a little buzzy, which makes your playing more charming and human-sounding! 🙂
