It is possible to free it up some more. However the nature of the clutch plates (friction discs sandwiching the gear plate) require it to be able to grip the gear plate enough to hold it still while the motor drives the worm gear on it.

This means it will always be quite frictiony to move by hand, and never a smooth gliding motion like a manual dob.
