Some people get pain on a one leg squat or step down no matter how they do it, so the trick is to UNLOAD the knee or LIGHTEN the body to reduce the load and allow full normal ROM of the knee through a squat. This helps improve the overall mechanics of the knee during squat and get you through the initial stages of a step down to then advance to a normal load and then add load as your symptoms improve and the knee, VMO and glutes get stronger.
