If you'd buy yourself a decent phono cartridge, you wouldn't have the
problem to begin with.  I have a Shure V15-IV, with a little viscous
damped carbon fiber brush that both cleans and destatics the record and
acts like a shock absorber.  It will track records that look like they
would derail a train, without using excessive stylus force.  I have
it set at just under a gram (adjusting for the brush, of course).
The reproduction ability of the cartridge is excellent, too, and since
Shure Bros. brought out the V15-V, you can pick up a type IV at a good
price these days.
