The new Tetrix v2 motors have a lot of improvement in this area. We have not burned out any v2 motors this year. We had one instance where a gear in the integrated gearbox shattered, but overall they have been good to us.

At our local kickoff, the presentation from Tetrix spec'd the v2 at being able to be stalled for "over 2 minutes" without smoking.

I have had success with removing the encoder disc from the shaft by gripping the sides with a needle nose pliers and pulling it off. Then I used the tools from the encoder kit to put it on a different motor.
