1) it would not hinder the mecanum's motion. the rolling motion of the rollers is what makes mecanums work, not sliding of the contact patch
2) even with better grip, there's still a problem. for a mec to work properly, all four wheels must be on the ground. once you lift wheel(s) off the ground, it can do weird things.
