I've seen no accurate assessment or documentation about the overuse of the word "like," but I'm inclined to suggest that perhaps up to 90% of Americans misuse ("overuse") this word on a regular basis. The other 10% either are too old to have lapsed into this misuse or are too careful with their use of the English language.

Is overuse is repeated micro trauma that overwhelms a body's ability to repair itself?

No. The word "overuse" means to use too much. It could of course be related to the body, but it doesn't have anything to do with micro traumas specifically. You could use a word too much, and people might find your paper repetitive. If you use a broken arm too much, that seems like it would cause micro traumas, but the word "overuse" isn't confined to that definition.
