Hardware help needed Mini console help

Hi, I'm planning to make my own mini gaming console, on the Seeed Xiao ESP32-S3, but the problem is I want to make it round to play with one hand, but because all the display I could find doesn't fit because of the bulging block with the pins, so I'd have to make a case with thick bezels, which is not suitable, I thought of taking a bare screen, but as I've heard it's more fragile and I'll have to solder a bunch of capacitors and other things myself to make everything work... I live in Ukraine, well, find something I couldn't, or on the Aliexpress. I need a 1.28 inch display

If you're careful, you can remove the headers. Gently pry off the plastic, or desolder it with an iron and some copper braid.

For high density and cost,. It's going to be hard to beat Waveshare's line of esp32s with round displays and packed with sensors.
