And since you are on the hoods most of the time, you may move them up a bit, just up to the point where the levers are still easy to access from the drops. Rotating the dropbar a little bit up would also help for a "hoods rider", but only up to a point where the brake lever is still easily accessible from the drops.

Also make sure the top of the dropbar to the hoods is smooth, without any abrupt contours (that maybe caused by the brake and shifter cables under the bar tape or some mouldings in the hood cover which you can shave off with razor blade).
Yep, and this also. Can you ride with your hands just above the hoods (about a 1/4-inch) without touching? If not, then pressure might be the issue.
