Am I stuck with a too-sensitive trackpad?

MacBook Air (M1, 2020): I love the machine, but I have already adjusted settings as much as I'm able and it's still too sensitive. If I don't take my fingers completely away from the trackpad as I use it, I often find new windows opening, dialog boxes popping up, ads getting clicked on, etc.

Yes, I have gone into trackpard preferences several times and adjusted everything I can find that ought to help and it doesn't.

Is it a mechanical problem that will need repair? Is there a plug-in that could help? It's a real nuisance!
