Newer Falcon boosters have upgraded landing legs with the capability to self-level and mitigate this type of issue.

B1058 was a favorite and was the leader in breaking many records.

“The Falcon fleet’s life leading rocket completed its 19th and final launch and landing on December 23. This one reusable rocket booster alone launched to orbit 2 astronauts and more than 860 satellites — totaling 260+ metric tons — in ~3.5 years.”
