We have plenty of examples of needles breaking off on Superman, so Blood Agents do not trivially work on him. Whether he's vulnerable to contact agents seems inconsistent.
I reread Tough Skin, and I concluded that you are right, he doesn't have Tough Skin not even with the Flexible component removed.
