Is there a way to avoid this and any additional accessory that I can use as a backup or safety measure.

In your case perhaps the best safety measure would be to simply use a standard Full Size SD card (I really like the SanDisk Extreme series).

I use an (external) card reader and shoot many tens of thousands of photos per year, and have had zero issues with wear and tear (or any other problems for that matter) with any of my cards spanning well over a decade (many different brands included).  The MicroSD cards I reserve for use with my phones, MP3 players, Dashcam, etc etc.

Best of luck,
