THEN BLURRY SLAUGHTER HIM.
Simple answer, no
Long answer: most consumer grade laptops are specifically designed the way they are and you cant get custom metal replacement parts without contracting a metal 3d printing company. Honestly you are correct, most repair companies will charge large labor costs to persuade you not to get it done with them as it’s a time taxing repair pulling everything out and putting into a new case.
If this is a common issue for your laptop then suggest getting another model.
