Dell XPS 13 /boot/efi Insufficient Space

Has anyone else had this issue before when updating the BIOS on PopOS or any Linux flavor?

I'm running PopOS 22.04 on a Dell XPS 13 9300 and when I try to update the Dell firmware from 1.17.0 to 1.18.0 I get the following error:

error in fwupd client: calling Install method failed: /boot/efi does not have sufficient space, required 59.2 MB, got 48.6 MB

Running sudo apt autoremove does not fix this. Running sudo fwupdmgr refresh --force and then sudo fwupdmgr update still has the error.

I would really like to not have to backup and resize and pray that nothing breaks when resizing the main partition for more space. Plus there's no good guide on exactly what steps to take for that.

Any help would be appreciated.

More info:

sudo ls /boot/efi
EFI  f52dfaf1ebdd214ad023db586322b2ef  loader
