You can trim all the exposed bedding by waiting about 60 minutes after assembly. Touch the excess with your index finger. If the epoxy does not adhere to it take a sharpened flat point chopstick and put a little gun oil on the tip. Lay it flat on the stock and up against the metal. Then just shave off the flexible epoxy. Leaves a perfectly flat and finished edge to the bedding. Use a metal file or somesuch on the over runs in the magazine or tang mortise. Done.

I just last night figured out how to do it on a Remington. No clue about a Kimber. Sorry. Same as on the Remington if not mistaken keep turning the rear screw clockwise until the sear drops and then back up so the gun is safe and the creep is gone.

Where's the link to adjusting the firing pin depth on the Kimbers?

Search posts from Brad. That thread had some useful info. In fact, I read on here just the other day about someone having light primer strikes with their Kimber. I'd bet money the set screw had backed out.
The link is below...

The firing pin spring in my Kimber could use more oomph. The protrusion is plenty and the set screw is not loose.

I've been through the threads on protrusion and the set screw. These things check out on my rifle. The spring is wimpy.
I haven't tried a Wolff spring because I've read of fit issues w.r.t. the diameter of the spring.

I'd call Kimber and get a new spring. None of later rifles I've owned shared this issue. I did see it in a couple of my earlier Kimbers (sub 20,000 serial number).
Have you tried contacting them?
