If I was in your shoes, I'd be doing a block of training to improve my 5 minute power. If you are able to do 5w/kg for 5 mins now (at a guess, I can't remember just how rediculously light you are), aim to get it to 5.5 and I bet you'd be able to stay with that group that drops you on the first climb.

@TTM Recenly i did a 5 min PB of about 118% of my FTP. I reckon normally i only hit around 112-115% though. I felt like i was about to die after doing the 120% effort.*
It's when i get to shorter digs, like 1min or less, where I have NOTHING. A true diesel.
Sounds like you need to re-think your life - get a job you don't give a shit about, get a divorce, and drop your kids into the adoption centre and train all day. I'm sure you will lead a more fulfilled life..!
*thinking about it, this is indicative of my FTP being too low
