The theory of how collisions make you lose particles, like you describe, is known as "neoclassical" theory. It's actually quite well-understood[1], and is what Wendelstein 7X is optimized for.
So while collisions are a major concern in stellerators in this sense, they are less so in tokamaks, where turbulence is the main limiting factor.
[1] By those smarter than me, that is. It's incredibly complicated.
