I would take the knife apart and reclamp the blade. Maybe that will work?
Doesn’t look like taking it apart will help. The plastic of the WE stone handles will still hit the blade near the finger choil.

There’s a school of thought that the edge will have damaged/fatigued metal if overheated during sharpening eg factory belt sanding. Until it is removed, there will be continuing problems. Flattening the edge before sharpening helps to remove the bad metal.

I’ve done a couple of tantos. Treated the straight portion and the tanto portion as two different blades. Neither had serrations.
Also, there is no attachment in your post.

That’s curious re lacquer thinner being your preference. Never felt that isopropyl wasn’t efficient for marker removal.

If you’re happy with the edge you put on free hand, use the sharpy and see how you like that angle off of the WE.
Either way, I think using a sharpy lets you see more clearly where you’re removing metal. It won’t hurt to use it and doesn’t take any time
