As others have mentioned, I too have found that my callouses have morphed into thick skin. That happened after a year or two of playing 1 to 1.5 hrs per day. I don't have a death grip on the neck and try to be aware of the minimum pressure needed. But there are times when I find one or more of my fingers, often the index, has a crease so deep that it becomes hard to cleanly fret a string because the tip of my finger is bottomed out on the fretboard, which then requires even more pressure, making the crease deeper.
My wife tells me I need to drink more water. I tell her beer is mostly water, and try that.
