Yeah, I think you really need to do the dirty deed of cutting off the impellers.
If it helps, I resisted this for a long time too, finally decided to go for it, and .. I don't regret it one bit. It's by far the best thing you can do to your skimmer to "make it better."
I can send you some Enkamat if you want .. I have a roll of the friggin' stuff and I've sent pieces in the mail several times now. PM me if you want to go that route..
