Easily scrap large amounts of gear

I have beaten the game, and am now building settlements. Vendors don't have enough money to buy even a fraction of the gear(weapons, ammunition, armor, mods) I collect on the average building clear, even with buying ammo and fusion cores. I've been scrapping gear by dropping it on the floor, then using settlement mode to dismantle each object, but this is slow and frustrating. I've tried scrapping containers full of gear, but this just puts it in the workshop. Is there a way to scrap large amounts of gear easily, either in vanilla or by a mod?

I don't know if I'd call this easy, but maybe easier.

If you have multiple identical items, they will stack in your inventory. This is indicated by a number in parentheses after the item. You can drop stacks, and then scrap them all at once in workshop mode. There may be a limit to the size of the stack you can scrap at once, but I haven't done enough experimentation to say for sure if that's the case or how large it can get.

Items in your inventory begin acting as stacks when there are 6 of them. If you have 5 harnesses, and you click to sell them to a vendor, it sells one and reduces the stack to 4. If you have 6 harnesses and click to sell one, a dialog comes up asking you how many you want to sell. This same thing happens if you try to drop them. So, if you wait until you have a stack of at least 6, you can drop and scrap the whole stack at once.
