Ok, this seems counterintuitive. I'm playing around with picks of various gauges. It seems like it's easier to play softly (that is, with less volume) with a heavier gauge pick than it is with a lighter gauge pick.
He uses a pretty fine sandpaper, so it's not as ouch as it sounds! But then he's an industrial electrician and he has calluses a foot wide, so perhaps it would disturb your fingers more than it does his...
I have a Dava flatpick with a section in its middle that is both thinner and ridged. The idea was that if if you grip it down by the tip it's a thick heavy pick, but if you grip it back behind the thin part, it's flexible like a thin pick. I was thinking that if you need a flatpick, this one might be less slippery than the ones you mentioned trying. http://elderly.com/accessories/items/PK80P.htm http://elderly.com/images/accessories/PK/PK80P_close.jpg
