kombi auto starter, much stronger. alternatively, try idlewild, he could probably hook you up with some sort of geared starter that they use for
offroad cars.

I'm still on my first second hand 2L starter. It's been going for around 4 yrs with my 2.5L V6.
Maybe you've got some other problem. How are they dying exactly?
Is your guide bush in the bellhousing ok?
