I have seen clutch forks worn bad enough that the ball stud had worn through the clutch fork socket also.

You are getting some really good advice on things to check. All of which should be checked. Keep checking until you find the culprit. As to installing a stronger/unbreakable rod, that the symptom, not the cause. Like a plug that keeps fouling. You can put a better/hotter plug in, but the cause of the fouled plug will continue to be there. I am thinking one of your rubber mounts is split. Sitting there not moving it looks fine, but chocked and under load it would allow the motor/trans to raise to a point that shears/breaks the rod.
