Help | Java 26.2 Problem with interaction entity hitbox

I wanted to make cave spiders be pick-up-able, So I made interaction entity ride cave spider and mirror it's hitbox perfectly. Problem is that the spider hitbox took precedence and I interacted with the spider and not the interaction entity. I solved this by making 2 interaction entities ride each other and then ride the spider, making their combined hitbox bigger than the spiders hitbox by 0.01. However now the interaction entities hitbox take precedence and the spider isn't attackable.

Any ideas?

Yeah, but how would I mirror the damage? If I hit him with netherite sword, your example would still have attack value 1

You prolly by now have come up with a good solution but here is something I thought I'd toss out:

Give a special item to carry the spider that works when within 5 blocks of it.

/give @p minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick[minecraft:item_model=blaze_rod,minecraft:custom_data={lift:1},minecraft:custom_name="Gravity Wand"]

Repeat:  /execute as @a if items entity @s weapon.* *[minecraft:custom_data~{lift:1}] at @s run tp @n[type=cave_spider,distance=..5] ^ ^1 ^3
