Fixing it with tech seems like an XY problem. If he’s old enough he’ll figure out eventually how to bypass it / develop another obsession. Have you entertained the idea of therapy?
You might have success with a CBT or exposure therapist. If he’s too young a play therapist might be more able to help.
