This is just PLA I'm afraid :/ ABS for me does not have this issue. Supports are much easier to remove whereas on PLA yeah it can be a pain. The only thing I did to improve it was to use pillar supports.

Also Sanding PLA is near impossible compared to ABS. ABS you can sand like wood, whereas PLA you need to be careful how fast you sand as it starts to melt in your hands, so cleaning up those support removal areas can be a real pain I find with PLA, but the upside is it looks nicer in the finished print form, or alot more shiny.
