Remove grub2 core.img (having 2) and resize /boot/efi

Some time ago I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 10.

I think I might have done some mistakes while installing Ubuntu.

I fact, I had to install it twice and I might have done bad things to my partitions.

This is my current table:

My problems:

1. Why do I have two grub2 core.img partitions? Can I remove one? The latter?

I have 5.62 GiB unallocated behind the second grub2 core.img and I would like to merge them together with the freed space from the img into 0n1p6, which will be my separate /home.

2. /boot/efi is too small, so I can't update my firmware

What would be a good solution to apply more space to /boot/efi?
