Turn up the brightness on any illuminated reticle and its going to bloom and starstreak. There is no perfect solution.

I have a Trijicon Credo 1-6 and no issues with my astigmatism.
I have 3 NX8 1-8 scopes. On 1X, without illumination on, they’re as clear as can be with no distortion. On 1X with illumination set at 5, it’s clear with a very slight hint of a tail. Setting 6 gets more of a starburst but the center reticle is still recognizable. Setting 8-10 is more of a starburst but still usable. I recommend not using setting 10 unless of course you want to see a red dot in your vision for the next hour or so.
If I kick the magnification up to 2 there are zero issues. Zero issues with all other magnification levels.
I have a very bad astigmatism that was worsened by a botched LASIK so take that in to account.
Just for added info; I have a 2.5-10x24 with the MOAR reticle. Zero astigmatism issues on any setting or magnification with that scope. I also had the Razor 1-10 and had similar issues as I do with the NX8 1-8.
