I'm going to ride this out and intend to follow up on a shim solution to fix this correctly with EXC bolt and bushing that takes the play out of the kick stand.

I still feel like the cleanest (and cheapest fix) for anyone in the future is to cut/sand down the existing GASGAS bushing and buy a button head machine screw for $3.
Lefty loosey..

Remove said part. Put it in the cupboard. No more auto retract. Lean bike against a tree or let it have a little rest.
