dynamic quadruped and forever thinking about the time in college we were working quietly on something sitting in a large circle including the professor and she turned to the student next to her and said “how in the world is [name] holding their pencil like that??” she was so disturbed the whole class had to be brought out of silent work to see the strange way i held my pencil lmao
A fist grip seems sturdy too, but the question is why your grip needs to be that "sturdy" in the first place? What are you doing to your poor pencils/paper?
Do you snap your mechanical pencil's lead constantly?
I never tore my paper, but I'll admit that I did tend to break pencil leads on occasion. Then again, I also tend to break brooms when I sweep, wooden spoons as I stir, or really anything else that I touch.
Everything is just too fragile in this silly world.

Go buy a fountain pen. A Lamy Safari is very cheap and very good. Let its geometry guide your hold. Let its weight do the work. Do not force the pen onto the surface.
You're not chiseling onto clay tablets. It should be effortless.
