I had the exact same problem with LeechBlock override, so I built talysman.app, which is basically Brick (the phone app) but for desktop. If your problem is solely on your phone, just use Brick, same principle but on the phone.
The key point is that you can only unblock when a physical usb drive (paired with the app) is inserted.
I've found this is the "just right" amount of friction. Too much friction (like impossible to override) and you have to be careful about when you turn it on, in case you genuinely need Reddit or YouTube or something. Too little friction and you just always override. But having to walk over to the next room to override is perfect.
