I have trouble with knuckling the ball and in the past I tried a tighter thumb hole via tape/magic carpet, but I always hung up on my release. Now I'm wondering if that was merely an issue with when my thumb exits the ball, as opposed to the thumb hole being to tight. At what point is the thumb supposed to exit the ball?

Try practicing consciouly having your thumb nail rubbing the ball on your release. This will straighten your thumb.
Try releasing slowly to get the feel. Once you get the feel, you can get back to normal speed.
It also looks you may have timing problems too.
