You are right that it seems he has a state law question. But hasn’t the SCOTUS held that you need not show law enforcement ID? If so, you could claim to live in another juris diction.
This also points out the problem with technique. Any conviction or judgement such a jury might bring back is at risk. What is the chance a jury put together this way would contain at least one member who was ineligible?
Yes, but you would need to assert that to the judge, and if he catches you lying to him, you will see the inside of the jail.

But they aren't putting together the jury, they are putting together the panel from which the jury is chosen. There would still be voir dire.
The challenge I would make would be to the customer base of the shopping center or store chosen. Does the store have too high of a percentage of white shoppers? Do they sell items that appeal to Blacks? Hispanics? Are there more BMWs than low riders in the parking lot? Was the statutory mechanism (if any) for putting together the panel followed?
