Blocking the Reset All Settings option

I'm looking for a way to block the Reset All Settings option on my phone. (For context, I'm an addict who needs to not have unrestricted internet access; I have a setup which keeps me safe but can be bypassed by resetting the phone settings, and thus all the Screen Time restrictions.)


As far as I can tell, there's no way to disable that option by default, though I'd be happy to learn that I've missed something. I'm willing to bend over backwards to figure this out, and solutions which require a second person to work are acceptable, though not ideal. (My current setup involves having someone other than me knowing the pin for Screen Time.)


Can anyone think of a creative way to solve this problem?


I remember hearing someone mention some sort of family control plan where core device permissions are controlled by another person; is that real and could it help in my case?
