Probably heat build-up is killing the lamps. Try using one size
smaller wattage.

Also check if there is insulation installed on top of the can, should be
a clear space above the fixture to allow for heat dissipation.

Unfortunately I can't do that. The can was installed when the house was
built and it's a sheetrock ceiling. I guess I could check, but that
will be a last resort, and I'll just replace the fixture while I have
the ceiling torn apart.
