I think the entire point is to be able to use this because you are stressed. Yes you can use it when you're about to stress yourself with a red maneuver and you really need that action, but that's too limited a corner case. Like Glitterstim, it's something you can use in an emergency. One of the major times you would want to use this card to ignore stress for actions and red maneuvers is when you are already stressed, and thus couldn't do those actions or maneuvers when you really need them.

Particularly in my meta where stressbots and Rebel Captive are super popular, stuff like cybernetics and glitterstim can be really important to deliver on that make-or-break turn.

I don't think the shenanigans you're talking about are powerful enough to make this card OP. It's single-use, and if a 2nd use is valuable to enough to finally put Jabba on the table then that's fantastic. I never see Jabba.
