Does lower pressure usually take the ratchet feel out at the upper helm? Mine was really bad until I rebuilt the upper. I haven't tried pressure lower than 20.

No - lower pressure will not reduce friction or a ratchet action out of the helm.
My upper helm has the ratcheting issue, is more difficult to turn then expected and I notice in rough seas I am always turning the wheel clockwise ( I think it's blowing past a seal) .
Is there a recommended place to send the upper helm pump for rebuilding?
