This might be a better approach. It's only one sense in Japanese but I think the "obliged; grateful" glosses make the note confusing.
Not an adjective in modern Japanese.

But it's really a usage pattern for that sense. I suggest a tweak of the note. I see 6 of the 9 Tanaka sentences for this use 恐縮ですが.

Couldn't we make the note on sense 1 into its own sense?
"I'm ashamed to say/ask this, but", "I'm afraid..."
