Yeah, when the liquidity is thin, that scenario is very likely to happen. This is why I hate trading those brand-new contracts of meme coins and tokens. Before you start trading you have to keep an eye on the order book and trading volume or else you will be fucked. In fact, some exchanges even put warnings right after you open the trading pair stating that trading very volatile assets is very risky. I believe you must have seen such warnings. It's almost equal to gambling.
I think there's a strategy to avoid this instead of using the stop-loss why not use isolated one with low margin and adjust the leverage to point your liquidation to the stop-loss you want. This would prevent to lose more than using the stop-loss I saw many traders doing this on very volatile new coins to avoid that issue.
Now, I see why they do that than using stop-loss.
