What are your personal most stubborn grammar points?
For me, my brain refuses to store the different sentence starting phrases - それに,それで, それでも, そこで, そうすると, すると, etc.

らしい、そう、みたい/よう. No matter how many times I watch that 日本語の森 video I forget the differences.

I’ve been finding がる pretty annoying, because it hasn’t been sufficiently covered in Genki at all so it feels pretty new–I also dont hear it often. Definitely all the must grammar points ば いけない・ならないーなくてはいけないなど。
