Block, demagnetize or remove Magsafe in iPhone 12 pro?

So my iPhone 6s finally is done for and I reluctantly "upgraded" to the 12 pro for lack of any alternatives. I'll eventually get used to the added size, weight, lack of a fingerprint sensor and no audio output. Brave new world.

What definitely bothers me though still is the new "magsafe" "feature". I don't like magnets near my mechanical watches (and yes, I know there are others in the phone anyway). So I'm looking for a way to either block, demagnetize or even remove the ring of magnets on the back of the actual phone (and no, I will not buy an Apple case with even more magnets and will never use the magnetic charger, wallets or god knows what else).

Anyone ever done this?

It can't be done without destroying the device.
