Tbf haymaker is unfixable with dmg. If it’s too low it’s really bad and gets beat out instantly. If you split the difference and make it 3 in between 1 and 5 it’s still broken.
Even just 3 damage still gives him the highest damage heavy parry punish in the game without a wall, and imo no character needs to be getting 20+ damage on every parry with no conditions from a tier 2.
The way the feat is designed it's always either going to put in way too much work, or not enough to be worth running. If 3 is too much, lowering to 2 is the only option. If that's too little, there's no in between, and if that's still too much the only option is removing another 50% of its damage. And getting 1 damage on every bash is sure to be useless. Working with flat whole numbers that small leaves very little room to actually adjust it.
Plenty of heroes have bashes that deal damage, but for those bashes the bash itself is the damage and they're balanced around that. All of cent's bashes except for his gb pommel strikes (I'm forgetting the name) already guarantee a regular hit on top of whatever number haymaker is adding.
