I don't think this is purely a preload problem. At 44k miles, the shock has probably had it's day. You probably feel you need the preload that high to compensate for the fact the shock is tired. If you can't afford to replace it, then you should ride to the bike's current capabilities, which means, ease off a bit with the ragging.
Why are you changing down near the redline?
Why are you using the rear brake on corner entry?
Come off throttle on corner entry, using front brake only. If you don't feel they are up to the job, ride accordingly. As said above, blip the throttle on down changes. Match the revs to the gear you are in properly, i.e., don't down shift when near the redline.
