It makes me so happy to find someone who parks like me. And I got so tired of scratching up my dragon teeth that I finally bought an aftermarket curb sensor. I do agree that the "split the difference, ignore the strips" idea is a good part of it. And I am old, fat and tall. If I can't open the driver door to its full opening (that is a looong door) it is hard to get out--or worse yet, back in.
I do own a set of magnetized door guard pads that will almost fill the space between fenders, I use them if I have no choice where to park. But mostly I believe that parking away from others in an end spot against the curb will protect me.
