Stripe… will just tell you to go fuck yourself, in only slightly more polite language. If they were to let you manage recurring transactions on your card (which their system may not even keep the record of, tokenizing it completely) then they could be accused of contractual interference if, say, you had a 1-year contract for that charge and they just let you stop it. Their solution? Merchants use their API to enable you to handle it. How well that works in practice? Fuck around and find out, but it ends in a cancelled card number in bad cases, and a closed account in worst cases since some credit card companies will just fork over data to merchants for “recurring” authorized transactions, even after a number change. Really it’s pretty much criminal, and there’s no meaningful solution. Perhaps small claims for the losses incurred plus costs to replace the card, with an actuarial take on the longer term cost from the credit score hit, etc. … but again, good luck.
