I used $Line2D.width but it changes the whole line while $Line2D.width_curve is a mess with confusing documentation.
I just want to be able to change the width of a line at individual points of the said line thru code.
Any input will be helpful!

There is no provided way to achieve what you are describing*.
If you are willing to do so some manual line drawing, you best bet is using CanvasItem.draw_line() for each segment (all Node2D inherint form CanvasItem).
Another solution might be to have a different Line2D node for each segment where the width changes.
*Actually you can build the width_curve programatically and that way you can create a curve that changes the width exactly at the points you wish. You seem to want to avoid working with the curve solution but I encourage you to try, maybe it’ll become useful experience for a later day .
With curve I have add_point(position: Vector2, left_tangent: float = 0, right_tangent: float = 0, left_mode: TangentMode = 0, right_mode: TangentMode = 0)to add a new point but I don’t understand what the vector2 does exactly, I’m assuming it’s choosing the position of the point with x and a width value with y although I haven’t been able to make that work.
line.width_curve.add_point(Vector2(1,0))
line.width_curve.set_point_value(1, ssize)
This is what I’m currently using but it is not giving me any useful result.
