The simple answer could be to charge a fee for support calls. Either a flat fee per minute, or a fee applied to the account that gets refunded if it ends up being an issue on their side that can't be self-solved.

They would reach a "sweet spot" where the fee would still be affordable but dissuasive enough to cut down on the amount of stupid calls, and would actually allow them to hire less, but more skilled support advisors.
