so I've got a 085 ceh and I'm pretty sure i stripped a synchro or a few of them. but haven't been able to find gears or synchro for sale any help would be appreciated.

Just googled the part number for the 3/4 synchro and this place list them https://www.fixparts-online.co.uk/en/volkswagen-ring-084311295b.html  and the parts listing https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/polo+derby+vento-ind/po/1996-158/3/311-311030/#6 

Have you gone direct to VW or TPS? Another source is ebay.de.
