    If you don't have a larger nozzle try a touch hotter and slower.
    That stuff likes hot, fat/thick and slow.

    You can try an oiler, but I am not sure it will help for that material (it won't hurt). The oiler really works for PLA.

    No more than 30mm/sec

    I know with PETG if your offset is a little too low it will strip at the hobbed bolt easily.
