Alchemists can inject poisons and extracts with a touch. It's the opposite of sucking blood of course, but still gets similar effects in a similar fashion.
Might be better off using a caster class and then specializing in touch attack necromancy spells. Quite a few of those do ability damage/drain/debuffs.

Bloodragers are PFS legal. The Blood Conduit archetype would be great for this.
An alternate (less effective) take would be a Half-Elf Rogue with Major Magic to get Chill Touch and use the FCB to increase the uses. Combine it with the Pressure Points Ninja Trick and you can do a decent amount of ability damage.
Hungry Ghost Monk, though Dhampyr isn't necessarily the best race for that.
Even in the HGM's ability descriptions, it's explained that the life-force draining abilities of that archetype are considered by some to be nothing more than a form of vampirism.
Well, if you can use the alternate bloodlines (can you? I know that aasimar and tieflings could, but no idea about Dhampirs), then a Nosferatu born wouldn't be bad. Sure, con penalty, but a bonus to str and wis. So you can go with this:
STR: 16 DEX: 14 CON: 14 INT: 10 WIS: 14 CHA: 8
Not bad, over all.
If it wasn't for the level range of PFS though, I would suggest just taking the ki leech SLA via qinggong. Mostly because it is a limited duration, yet takes 0 ki to activate. So you have to constantly recast it while going about your business. Which feels like you are jonesing for a fix of that sweet, sweet life force ripped from the chest of your enemies/victims. Gives a nice addict feel.

I don't think a sorcerer would be all that viable as a melee fighter ...
Well, he never actually said a melee fighter. He said he wanted to do ability damage and not use weapons. But if that is what is desired, possibly eldritch scion magus with a dip into monk or brawler.
I play a lot of dumb vampire characters, the best Dhampir character I've ever played was a hexcrafter magus, following the Wayang Spellhunter + Frostbite + Rime Spell + Enforcer string. I took the Evil Eye Hex and Hex Strike as soon as possible. You could also do all of this with a 1 level dip of Witch or Druid or do it at level 4 with bloodrager. Granted, this is 3 feats but the combo only gets better over time.
Fatigue = -2 strength and -2 dex
Entangled = -2 to all attack rolls and -4 dex
Shaken = -2 to attack rolls and other stuff
For most creatures, thats a -6 to strength -6 to dex without including penalties to saves and such, and before you get Evil Eye. Now this isn't DIRECTLY ability damage, but it's alot of 'ability damage.' You could probably stack this with Stunning Fist for total shutdown mode or an amulet of mighty fists and Conductive (for channeling other touch attacks) or spell storing. I eventually dipped a level of Rime Blooded Sorceror in order to tag a Slow onto the whole process. I think most of this stuff is pfs legal?
You'll want some caster stuff eventually for things like Gaseous Form, Spider Climb, Dominate/charm etc. Do you want to be able to control undead? Do you want to drain blood for healing?
Bloodrager accomplishes alot of debuffing through spells, opens up gradually, allows you to be a full melee fighter, and allows archetypes for both Fast Healing and Grappling for biting people.
If you have your heart set on monk, you will have some difficulty dealing with MAD and being in melee with no means to heal yourself or be healed by others without feat tax.
