I recommend a good 15W fork oil like Motul. This will stiffen the fork, improve performance and bring the adjustable range closer to the middle of the "click" range.

Thanks! Wouldn't adding thicker fork oil increase both compression and rebound damping into the high click range since a non-adjustable fork should start in the middle? Unfortunately I only need two things from these forks and damping adjustment isn't one of them. I need stiffer springs and more preload. I like the damping rates as-is.

Perhaps I should start off by adding more oil to stiffen them up a little by reducing the air volume. At least that should reduce the bottoming out and nose dive. TBH I'm just not sure about 15W and these USD forks are a PITA to change oil. I might be happier with 10W but who really knows?

Below are some links to some relevant Joe Henner fork videos. Wish I knew who makes these forks?
