You mean stratum 1.  A value of 0 indicates unsynchronised.  The reference
clock will be stratum zero, but the NTP protocol will report statum
1.

You require a time transfer receiver.  Your problems are not fundamental
to NMEA, but navigation receivers will generally not pay attention to
accurate timing of the time messages and even time transfer receivers
may assume that their PPS output is accurate, so the NMEA doesn't need
to be.  I don't know if there are any time transfer receivers without
PPS, although, if there are, they would, presumably have low jitter
NMEA outputs.

The ntpd PPS code is of no benefit unless the receiver generates an
accurate PPS signal.
