“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
I have the power to talk to aliens through using telepathy. Why do people think I'm crazy?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
