QSlider Handle Size PyQt5

I'm trying to increase the width of the Qslider handle to make it more user friendly on small screens, but I've only found ways of doing this in C++.

I have tried to implement this in python using the following code, only for it to change the colour of the slider:

    self.Zoom.setStyleSheet("""
             QSlider::handle:horizontal {
                                        height: 80px;
                                        }
            """)

Any advice on how to use QWidget.setStyleSheet() correctly.

A possible solution is to use a QProxyStyle:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets


class SliderProxyStyle(QtWidgets.QProxyStyle):
    def pixelMetric(self, metric, option, widget):
        if metric == QtWidgets.QStyle.PM_SliderThickness:
            return 40
        elif metric == QtWidgets.QStyle.PM_SliderLength:
            return 40
        return super().pixelMetric(metric, option, widget)


class TestWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)

        self.slider = QtWidgets.QSlider(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal)

        style = SliderProxyStyle(self.slider.style())
        self.slider.setStyle(style)

        lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        lay.addWidget(self.slider)
        lay.addStretch()


if __name__ == "__main__":

    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    app.setStyle("fusion")
    w = TestWindow()
    w.show()
    app.exec_()
