Stepping outside the box a bit, the real problem here is your GPS
reception is very marginal.  Even if ntp did what you want, you'd
still get crappy GPS data since the GPS is "satellite hopping" and
getting a noisy low-quality lock on the satellites.  Why not fix that
first and then start hacking ntp to do what you want with the "prefer"
keyword.  (Such as having it ignore the prefer if the clocksource is
at stratum 16).
