If they are failing to process or even remember the request, then why do you feel that repeated corrections will overcome this?
If their intentions are good (or at least neutral), but it's not something they think of as important and thus forget / let it slip, reminders will both help it set and emphasize that it is important to Rax. Training indifferent humans requires a lot of consistent work -- and yes, that it is tiring and frustrating.
If they're rejecting the idea but unwilling to say so, correcting them probably won't help.
Yes, obviously, it isn't possible to make corrections in conversations one isn't at. And yes, the support of people who do have Rax's pronouns right and are willing to step in with corrections would help with both the tiring/frustrating, and the consistency, but I don't know if that's an option in the social circles in question.
is a completely OK question, and may even be really appreciated!

There are people who'd take it badly.
