Bore scoring, why #6 goes bad first, oil design?

Is it possible to pull #6 piston without splitting case. I really want to just for fun pull the head somehow remove the wire clip pull the the wrist pin and pull the piston. My cylinder doesn’t look that bad when borescoping but I am getting about a 20% leak past the rings all other cylinders are closer to 5-10%
I would love to swap out a new piston and rings and just do a old school super light drill hone.
then drive it while I acquire parts and everything I need for a 4.0 rebuild. This is my daily driver

Y'all don't have to think or try to discover "new" ideas about why the M9X can destroy itself. Hartech, Raby, and LN have been working and developing the fixes for these engines since they hit the market. Hartech has several e-books you can dl for free. Google searching will give you hundreds of threads where Charles and Jake have described these design choices and consequences. Raby and team have a couple dozen videos talking in-depth about the issues...
