Here’s a trick to make the screen not wobble. Follow closely.
-as you open the screen do so in a controlled manner. Slowly and smoothly. Pretend you are a robot and your movements are very precise and controlled. Not like a human and all floppy and quick.
-next as you are reaching your destination of angle level slow down your movement so you come to a stop as you are letting go of the lid.
this insures that there will be no wobble because your hand leaves the lid as it stops.

if you cannot do this you don’t deserve to own a MacBook Pro.

It's not a problem. If it were too tight to wobble, it would be too tight to open the lid one handed. It's how it's designed. In fact if anything I feel like these hinges are far more firm than they were a decade ago, they used to be looser and far more wobbly.

HELP! My Macbook Pro has a fingerprint on it. None of the Macbook Pros on the website have any fingerprints on them. Apple's QC is hot garbage. Returning.

Do we really have to baby it that much?
 
Touch it with the lightest touch. Be one with it only way to make it not wobble
Only one who has truly transcended duality and lives on a plane of connected oneness with all could ever achieve such a feat. You are the MacBook, the MacBook is you. There is no hinge, there is just connection. Only then can you truly be still enough where you don't wobble the MacBook, the MacBook wobbles you.
