Theoretically, yes, you could put a resistor in series with the wiper. Practically, it
would be difficult as most pot are on printed circuits (soldered directly to the board)
and there’s not enough room to add one.
Probably a last resort.

I had a set of curtis pots go bad on my s10
electric truck. The problem is they spend all of their life moving around just off idle so
they wear. Probably the same thing for your pot.
This may be a dumb question, but would it be possible to add a low-value resistor to the
circuit and change the tuned position of the pot?
