I'd try out some 91 gas and new plugs, it couldn't hurt anything and even if they dont solve this particular issue, they may cause some very soon down the road if they are original. Never a bad idea to change out well-used plugs.

Bosch's O2's in my fronts are still good 2 years now but I have heard of others having problems.
Could be gutted cats, would explain a lot.
It's not hard to change them on stock manifolds. I change mine(TR55's)once a year no matter what milage. Took me about an hour the 1st time. Now bout30 each time. #8 is the hardest with the cat in the way.
