I've heard of using a low amp battery and small cables, but not sure it really helps.
The low amp battery and small cables would have minimal effect on the starter with no load on it, which is the condition it is under while spinning the drive into the flywheel. Once engaged the drive should be able to handle the extra torque, it's the slam in that it doesn't like.
Having everything in good condition is helpful. Good bushings, a good drive gear, good flywheel gear, and a properly tuned engine for easy starts.
And paying close attention to the starting process. Stop and think for a second before hitting the switch, "is everything ready?" Once the starter is engaged, keep it engaged until it starts (within reason). But if it fails to start, listen closely for the starter to wind down and stop, also be sure the engine is not rebounding off a compression stroke and turning backward before trying the starter again. Be sure the timing is right, too fast and it will kick back, stressing the starter even more.
Still it comes down to the specific design of the starter. Some are strong enough to handle it, some are not.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
