Is it possible to record an action that only changes the Stroke Width and nothing else?

Question

I am currently recording actions for stuff that I do very frequently. One of the things I do a lot is changing the stroke width and changing the stroke alignment. However, when I record an action to set the stroke weight, the action also records the attributes for other things like Alignment and Cap style.

Is it possible to record only the changing of stroke width and leave everything else alone? I really need everything else to stay the same, especially the alignment

I tried selecting and deleting them on the actions tab but nothing happens

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction! I don't know how to write scripts but I found a few scripts online that incrementally increases/decreases stroke weights. I just edited the values on the code to fit my needs (then binded the script to my macro keyboard)

It's possible to set up an action that includes only the stroke weight attribute (you have to remove some entries in the action code).

However, it's a waste of effort because it doesn't work reliably (some of the unwanted attributes are still being applied and different stroke alignments get reset to centre alignment).
