Hallo Nomad, I would not bother to re-install just because of that.
I envy you for having strong forces on your SW2FFB, mine are rather "mediocre" fr my taste. On the other side, I have 4-5 SW2FFBs in stock so I would not worry about overusing my current one.
If you feel that your SWFFB is giving you too much hard forces in all movements, nothing is simpler than that, you can use an editor to lower the force of each FFB file.
(keep a back up copy of your otiginal FFB files though. If you do not have them, tell me, and I will upload them for you).
Got to airwarfare and under downloads Gaming Utils you will find many solutions:

FFB_Files
Thought I would share my FFB files with those who wish to try them. I replaced the punch/kick effect we get on the runway to something that feels more like uneven ground. I also changed the center spring to have more forces on the elevator than the ailerons, also toned down all of the shake, machineguns and cannons to something more acceptable to me.
Just back-up your originals and replace with these. Feel free to mix and match with the originals if you prefer some of those.

FFB Profies
I have spent some time fiddling with the FFB files
Using at the beginning an Hex editor for modifying the DATA fields (blindly)
Then I used FFEDIT and managed to adjust the spring effect to my liking
The one that annoyed me the most is the Shake file that shakes the stick at the inset of a stall
Very UNFORTUNATELY in IL2 this damn effect is combined with:
1/ crash scraping the ground
2/ and also with the hits to the plane by bullets..
This comes I think from the program itself
I managed to isolate the machine gun shooting vibrations amplitude and frequency(machinegun) and also set up a lower frequency for the cannon(autocannon)
The result shooting separately is good but the firing of both at the same time is somewhat "wild"
I completely cancelled "punch" "bomb" and "mortar"(rename it to keep it safe if you want)
These files work fairly well tested on IL2,but have not been tested yet on IL2 CoD
If you want them to try downlod and try them out, but KEEP yours SAFE in case

Force Feedback Editor

And if you are more into "searching for the truth" than "searching for the flight experience"
you can proceed to using the Force Feedback Editor in order to modify the files in a way so that you can identify the individual performance of each file, one by one, so that you can understand which are the files which have the most impact on the stiffness of your joystick (and subsequently adjust them).
Lot's of fun!
