change/remove stop losses to ride out dip?

I'm curious how people are approaching today's, um, events. My personal investment strategy is somewhat of a mix of buy and hold, and swing trading on the weeks/months time scale. My buy and hold investments like $NVDA, $NBIS etc are going with me to the grave.

However, for some tickers in my portfolio that are lower conviction, I have stop losses set. Many nearly got tripped today, and are right on the edge for whatever happens next week. For example I have some $INTC with a stop loss set at $35.11, just below a support level (~$36.40) that has stood intact for the past week.

Using $INTC as an example, would one remove a stop loss all together? Drop it to a lower S/R level (perhaps $24.5 before the big gap up on Sept 18)? Perhaps change nothing and let these events thin out the heard, and eat the losses. I could make an argument that if $INTC doesn't have sufficient support it doesn't deserve to be in my portfolio.
