I never sparkled my main & escort fleets, and they were of a lower average level than yours.

Make sure your support girls all have the best surface radars x 2 & fit guns (preferably upgraded to at least +4 for acc bonus +2). Boss support only needs a sparkled FS to activate reliably, but sparkle all six for route support since it's only about 50% activation without it. You can count on them to take out two of the trash on average and ABKM usually gets one more, so you'll often reach Z node with green health.

Out of 20 chipping runs, 11 were successful. Last dance took 9, but only because the first 8 got redirected to B or Y. My last dance was a perfect run where Ducky & BB Hime shot at the searchlight while Beaver & Shiggy finished them off with torp cut-ins for an S-rank. My fuel bill was 40k, though, since I burned something like 1.3k fuel per run.

You can leave out boss support for chipping, but your chances for an S-rank will really suffer.
