Has anyone have any idea to make this small part any more durable?

I have a car key fob that has a metal button that keeps breaking. So, I decided to 3d print it. But this small protrusion I showed in the image keeps breaking (This was the exact place where my metal buttons broke too, go figure). Has anyone any idea how I can make this protrusions more durable. I know that they won't last anyway but instead of withstanding one month of use, is there a way you can think of to make it withstand a bit more longer?

Keep in mind that this part is "extremely" small and that protrusion is 1mm x 1mm
