First, have you read Michael W. Lucas' book (if you haven't already):
https://www.michaelwlucas.com/nonfiction/sudo-mastery

Secondly, maybe you can add the user to a group so sudo is not needed for your
command.

Next, are you sure your sudo file doesn't have this uncommented:
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
