I dont think that the fact that you are paying the blinds more often is a reason to play more loosely, rather its a reason to blind steal/defend more often.

I think that rather than playing more loosely you just need to adjust the mix of hands you are playing taking into account that drawing hands value goes down the fewer are seeing the flop, because pot/implied odds are reduced, whilst any pairs value is simultaneously increased for the same reason. If you are in one of those 6-max games where 4 or 5 see the flop, then obviously those drawing hands are still good though, although you might end up revising that again if the game is particularly aggressive.
