But what I don't understand is why it just happened all of a sudden with the car NOT DRIVEN in weeks. I guess if I have debis, it'll happen any time. Just seems odd.
What about dumping in STP first and running it for 30 minutes or so on highway? Asking for trouble?

Check your pressure with another gauge that's known to be good as Jim Scites has suggested.
If your pressure is still bad, pull the engine and either fix the pressure relief passage blockage in your pump or replace the oil pump.
That pan's not coming off with the engine in the car, you'll have to get the engine halfway out just to get it high enough to get the pan off, so at that juncture removing the engine entirely is practically the same.
Much easier to work on the engine with it on a stand than with the whole car in your way while laying on your back.
Get it out and fix it before you damage it.
Best of luck.
