That's what I would call the "Forth challenge", that is to grow out of stack juggling.
When you look at the Forth code of a beginner, yes it's full of stack juggling, of "@" and of "!". When you look at code from more experienced Forth programmers, there's much less of it.
The challenge is to build your way out. There's no fixed way to do this, because the best path to do so is generally dependent on the task at hand.
Needless to say, most programmers fail this challenge.
