I have a few devices where the micro usb is starting to fail. Turns out it is possible to convert to USB-C, if you can get the device open and have soldering skills. There are replacement USB-C plugs that have a tiny board with same pin layout (and pwr resistors), just gotta pick the right voltage/ground orientation.

This video shows the steps, albeit with all manner of triggering solder crimes. 😬
