Actually, blocking the nozzle allows a motor to spin more freely because of reduced air resistance. That's why a vacuum speeds up when blocked. The motor may overheat from lack of air flow, but the power supply is actually getting a rest.
Bottom line, your power supply is barely making it. A vacuum needs power to do its job, that's simple thermodynamics; force times distance shaft work. No horsing around is going to change that. You might degrade the performance of the motor in some way to better allow the power supply to keep up, but a better power supply is so much simpler.
