A couple of ideas. You could buy yourself a gasket and take the pump out and see for yourself. It could be that the sock somehow is not right and obstructing things, IDK. Just a theory or more likely a SWAG. OTOH, you can buy a Walbro pump to replace your stock unit to make it more bulletproof.

If you insist on dropping the tank you can. There is NO need to drop the tank to get to the fuel pump

You don't. You do it from the filler area.
