Remember my trouble with valve knocker and Marui Magazine?
I just tried to fit the Shooter design Valve knocker but I have the same issue, and with original KJW magazine too the strike is not as powerful as with the stock valve knocker. So I think I should mod the SD knocker but I don't know how

As for the wear of your knocker, it's perfectly normal for knockers to wear from the actual impact it makes to the valve. Or if for some reason, the valve makes contact with it when you insert/drop the magazine.
I don't exactly know how to fix your gun as I don't really have it front of me to inspect. But judging from your previous description, I believe the problem is from the Tokyo Maui magazine since all of your other KJW magazines work. normally.
I think that the magazine valve on the Marui magazine may sit a bit higher. This would not allow the proper clearance for your knocker to hit the valve efficiently. And since you've uprated your hammer spring already, I think you are able to produce a good strike. If you have a spare valve knocker to modify, I suggest you try shortening its length and test firing. See if that works.
I would inspect again how your valve knocker interacts with your Marui magazine.
