Using 1/3 pot sizing live is failing me...villains spazz, hard for hero to continue...

Hello, I play a lot of live 2/5 and in my spare time I grind a lot of piosolver and watch RIO vids, etc. I've been trying to implement the small (1/3) sizing along with having a larger sizing (2/3) in many different spots. Pio obviously likes to have a higher frequency, wider, 1/3 range and a more polar lower frequency 2/3 range. In response, the villain is supposed to respond by increasing their raise freq over the 1/3 more than they would over the 2/3. Since I'm using 2 sizings in these spots, my 1/3 range is somewhat capped as the strongest hands will usually be used in the larger sizing. In live games, the regs (and even the fish) are so used to the "bet size indicates strength" mentality that they will just snap raise the smaller sizing at a super high frequency and thus they have spazzed into the appropriate exploit against my strategy. My question is: Should I continue to try to implement this smaller sizing into my game when it seems that it induces the appropriate exploit from villains? If so, I don't think the GTO answer could be to include more stronger hands into this sizing to protect the range, it would seem that I need to study up on how to appropriately continue after facing spazz raises in these spots right?
