How do you add the simple product sku to the grouped product table?

Basically, I want to remove the grouped product sku and add the sku's to each simple product that are listed in the grouped product table. See the image below and the red drawing for a visual of what I am trying to accomplish:

Copy the below file:

vendor/magento/module-grouped-product/view/frontend/templates/product/view/type/grouped.phtml

To:

app/design/Vendor/Theme/Magento_GroupedProduct/templates/product/view/type/grouped.phtml

And add the below code:

<?php
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

// @codingStandardsIgnoreFile

/**
 * Grouped product data template
 *
 * @var $block MagentoCatalogBlockProductViewBaseImage
 * @var $block MagentoGroupedProductBlockProductViewTypeGrouped
 */
?>
<?php $block->setPreconfiguredValue(); ?>
<?php $_product = $block->getProduct(); ?>
<?php $_associatedProducts = $block->getAssociatedProducts(); ?>
<?php $_hasAssociatedProducts = count($_associatedProducts) > 0; ?>

<div class="table-wrapper grouped">
 <table class="table data grouped" id="super-product-table">
 <caption class="table-caption"><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Grouped product items') ?></caption>
 <thead>
 <tr>
 <th class="col item" scope="col"><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Product Name') ?></th>
 <th class="col sku" scope="col"><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Sku') ?></th>
 <?php if ($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
 <th class="col qty" scope="col"><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Qty') ?></th>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </tr>
 </thead>

 <?php if ($_hasAssociatedProducts): ?>
 <?php foreach ($_associatedProducts as $_item): ?>
 <tbody>
 <tr>
 <td data-th="<?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Product Name')) ?>" class="col item">
 <strong class="product-item-name"><?= $block->escapeHtml($_item->getName()) ?></strong>
 <?php if ($block->getCanShowProductPrice($_product)): ?>
 <?php if ($block->getCanShowProductPrice($_item)): ?>
 <?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $block->getProductPrice($_item) ?>
 <?php endif; ?>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </td>
 <td data-th="<?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Sku')) ?>" class="col sku">
 <?= $block->escapeHtml($_item->getSku()) ?>
 </td>
 <?php if ($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
 <td data-th="<?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Qty')) ?>" class="col qty">
 <?php if ($_item->isSaleable()) : ?>
 <div class="control qty">
 <input type="number"
 name="super_group[<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $_item->getId() ?>]"
 data-selector="super_group[<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $_item->getId() ?>]"
 value="<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $_item->getQty() * 1 ?>"
 title="<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Qty') ?>"
 class="input-text qty"
 data-validate="'validate-grouped-qty':'#super-product-table'"
 data-errors-message-box="#validation-message-box"/>
 </div>
 <?php else: ?>
 <div class="stock unavailable" title="<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Availability') ?>">
 <span><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Out of stock') ?></span>
 </div>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </td>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </tr>
 <?php if ($block->getCanShowProductPrice($_product)
 && $block->getCanShowProductPrice($_item)
 && trim($block->getProductPriceHtml(
 $_item,
 MagentoCatalogPricingPriceTierPrice::PRICE_CODE
 ))): ?>
 <tr class="row-tier-price">
 <td colspan="2">
 <?= $block->getProductPriceHtml(
 $_item,
 MagentoCatalogPricingPriceTierPrice::PRICE_CODE
 ) ?>
 </td>
 </tr>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </tbody>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 <?php else: ?>
 <tbody>
 <tr>
 <td class="unavailable"
 colspan="<?php if ($_product->isSaleable()): ?>4<?php else : ?>3<?php endif; ?>">
 <?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('No options of this product are available.') ?>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </tbody>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </table>
</div>
<div id="validation-message-box"></div>

What about adding the simple product description or short description to each line as well as the SKU. $_item->getDescription or $_item->getShortDescription don't appear to exist/work. Additionally is there a way to see which methods are available for $_item and possibly add getDescription to the class?
