Upgrade the e2fsck 1.45.5 to version 1.47.1 so that GParted is able to check newer file systems or to shrink a partition.
GParted (e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020) upgrade to 1.47.1)
https://e2fsprogs[dot]sourceforge[dot]net/
==================================
e2fsck -V
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install make
./configure
make
sudo make install
Start GParted and choose the partition to 'check' with the right mouse button or put one of these commands in the terminal:
e2fsck -pf /dev/sda
e2fsck -f /dev/vgname/lvname
After that you can shrink the drive normally with GParted!
