ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '+\x0081430'

I am running a LEGO Technic XL motor on my Raspberry Build Hat and my script runs the motor for approx five minutes every hour, it turns certain degrees with a certain speed. After a few hours I have the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/threading.py", line 1038, in _bootstrap_inner

^^^^^^

From what I understand, the problem is the motor sometimes sends some invalid (non-integer) data back on the serial port and it crashes the buildhat library, this exception is not handled.
