Could try doubling up on the gaskets. Torque it to spec not just “super tight”

If it’s not making a weird noise you’re trying to resolve, then a small leak at the midpipe to muffler isn’t that big a deal far enough back in the system shouldn’t matter too much, unless it’s making weird noises.

Worst comes to worse Ebay has used ones shipped for 200$ or less

Exhaust shop should be able to fix it though either grinding it down flat, maybe welding on a new flange.

Could try To cut off both flanges and weld on a vband or a slip joint

Permatex Ultra Copper Maximum Temperature RTV Silicone Gasket Maker Could fix it,
But DO NOT apply it to the outside of the flanges it goes directly on where the gasket and flange mate acting as a new second gasket, but fills in uneven surfaces. Typically with gasket
Maker you apply it, hand tighten the bolts wait about 45mins and then torque to spec. Most people torque right away and squeeze out the gasket maker.
