Grasshopper was able to hover, or even perform a powered descent and was probably lighter than an F9 first stage, so I don't think this can't be it. They likely do have an engine configuration capable fo a lower minimum thrust, but they're choosing not to use it presumably because it's not optimal for the primary mission, and they believe it's not necessary for the landing. |
