"No proof he was weakened" This is the same Orochimaru that Sasuke absorbed himself, the one who was dying and arms are sealed. When he came out of Anko he flat-out stated that he doesn't have the strength to steal Sasuke's body right now. Chapter 593, Page 9. Databook stats should never be used in actual arguments revolving around the Manga btw, considering some of the strongest characters don't even have any and the system was abandoned in the latest databooks. The fact that we're trying to use Itachi's blade's ability to quickly seal a severely weakened, not paying attention, sealed arms, cocky, not as fast as Minato, Orochimaru to suggest that Itachi can somehow pierce and seal Minato before he can react shows that this argument has hit the bottom since you're actually reaching this far.
