As I think about this, gluing some foam board to the backside of my indoor attic access might be worth the money/effort. It would be a non-insulated point as there would be no blown in insulation on the top of it.
When I lived up north, and being cheap, I built/put a box fan into a piece of plywood that then was placed into my upstairs indoor attic access opening. The fan pulled from the house and into the attic and with the windows open on a cool night, it actually made the house cooler. Sort of a poor man's attic fan.
I might give that a try in my garage down here. Cheaper than installing a fan in my roof, and no need to cut into my roof. If it doesn't help, I'm out my time, and being retired, I have some of that to spare.
