Exactly What I Aimed At probably applies

Willfully Weak? there is also A-Team Firing

Willfully Weak sounds like the best bet. Especially if this includes cases where the person's attempts to control an aspect of their strength weakens them much further than they intend (again like how Akari just tries to avoid kill-shots but winds up unable to hit anything at all). A-Team Firing is a result, but there's no intent there. Exactly What I Aimed At is more playing with this trope. That trope is for someone who's aiming at a special target no one thought of, while my query was about someone simply trying to avoid hitting someone/something.
