If you're not planning on getting a new bot anytime soon you could relocate the spring higher on the trim, or even up above the trim on the drywall (preferably where there's a stud)

I have many of them in similar locations, this is a rental and it was a problem at the previous place.

But yeah otherwise that's a good idea, installing an alternative to the spring could also work.
