"I'm guessing your friend was probably successful with his OPA1642 guard ring using an SOIC package?"

Indeed, that was an SOIC. But the same guard ring design can also be applied when using a VSSOP package. Same pinout, so...

But clearances are indeed much smaller. A resistive "bridge" between guard ring and the hig-Z node still adds noise.
