Why not swap the volume and the switch? Having the switch a long way back actually doesn’t make it much harder to hit on purpose, but does stop you doing it accidentally.
Best of all is the Hamer/PRS position behind the bridge, but that would need an extra cavity routing.
PRS also use a rotary switch on some models, but having owned a couple of them I would highly *not* recommend it on a gigging guitar.

IMO, the best alternative to knocking the switch toggle is to exercise some self-control. Calm yo' (finger) tips.
My ideal would be a switch like the attached diagram (excuse the crude PowerPoint sketch)
Alternatively an adaptation of strumming style is the only other option

Also bear in mind it would need a fairly irreversible oversize cut-out in the body, even if you went for a round-format one like this...

Steamabacus: I tried that but it is so close that I was hitting it in any configuration.
ICBM: Your other suggestion has got me thinking A knob with the right shape might work there and be good for volume swells
You even get this occasionally with a standard parallel selector switch, but it's not as noticeable because the signal level change is much smaller.
