To be fair, you could've left Wisdom 8 (or 9 with Resilient). The difference between 8 and 10 ability modifiers' isn't that big. The big benefit comes from Proficiency, because it grows as you level up. Wisdom doesn't, unless you invest in it. Plus, if your wisdom were 9 and your strength 17, at a later level you could even both out.

Besides, there's a certain appeal living a bit on the edge, with risking failure for things like you described. Try to make lemonade from those lemons. It can be funny if you embrace the fact that you're playing a bit slow-witted, slightly inperceptive muscle-maniac, who can still brush off "weakling" tactics such as mind-affecting effects by e.g. being "angry all the time".
