extruder clicking and skipping

A nozzle with a nozzle width of 0.3 mm cannot print a 0.3 mm layer height . You could do that but you should not as you ultimately pay the price in the form of a less aesthetic finish.

The extruder motor may be skipping steps because of insufficient current. Typically, the stepper driver will have a small potentiometer that lets you increase or decrease the current.

I'm still not sure what happened but here's what I did. I ended up buying a replacement since I thought the motor was seized up somehow.

Obviously, your extrusion process is troubled by a lot of pressure. This can be seen from the extensive experiment you conducted with PLA extrusion at different temperatures.

Advice from another source suggested thoroughly cleaning the feed gear on the bowden extruder. When I looked closely there were plastic flakes all over the mechanism. I used compressed air and a brush to clean it.

Too Hot If you're printing too hot (with any filament, not just PLA) you're going to see stringing and blobs/oozing because the material is getting runny and exiting the nozzle in an uncontrolled manner.
