The way to learn to work with a weak partner is to go watch how others work with a weak partner. Remember back when you were the weak partner? Okay, who was a strong partner that did a great job with you? Go to that person and explain that you want to watch him or her working with a weak partner. Ask for some games you can watch from the stands. Talk to that strong partner later about specific things you saw and need to understand. Go home and think of two things you can work on the next time you have a weak partner. Write them into your journal. Next game that you have with a weak partner, be thankful, instead of dreading it. Now you have a chance to learn some more! If your strong partner person is available, go to them after each game with a weak partner and talk about things that came up and how you handled them and what you could do better next time. Give yourself time to work on this. You'll get better at it over time, if you keep working.
