Why not add a piece of steel that is the same gauge or close to that goes 1-2 inches above the holes that hold the wear strip on. Them I would buy a replacement wear strip and new skid shoes for your blade.
The only down pressure I have is from the weight of the blade. You need to have some float in the lift system when pushing snow. If you don't pins in the lift system will break or lift arm will bend.
