Problems in creating stored procedure in phpmyadmin, column count mysql.proc is incorrect

Question

Trying to create simple stored procedure in phpmyadmin through 'Routines' tab as

BEGIN SELECT * FROM tbl_user; END

throws errors as Column count of mysql.proc is wrong,expected 21 found 20, please use mysql_upgrade to fix this error

What I already tried

1 - tried couple of way to use mysql_upgrade , but as I am using xampp I was not able to find a way to upgrade mysql as mysql is replaced by maridb

2 - tried upgrading phpmyadmin to latest by following this

3 - Uninstalled xampp and installed latest version '7.3.8'

4 - Formatted the system and installed latest ubuntu '19.04' (lol that was't needed though)

5 - tried to make changes in mysql.proc, added new column as 'aggregate' , which I found here now which throws error as can not load from mysql.proc, the table is probably corrupted

Now I am left with only one option which is uninstall xampp and install mysql workbench.

I am using xampp as most of my projects are php based, How can I use mysql_upgrade Or can fix this issue Any help would really appreciate.

Any one who is facing same issue here is the answer you can access mysql in the terminal using

1. /opt/lampp/bin/mysql -u root -p
