You can try shimming the hammer, but its hard to keep a piece on the hammer without the force of the spring pushing it off at some point.
Softer seal material can perhaps help a little with the leak with the weaker valve spring. Or you can simply use stronger hammer spring - it is surely question of his best combination.

Improvement of gas flow will be most likely very difficult in case of 3357.

...perhaps dry to make some sealing between barrel and cylinder for velocity increases trought some efficiency gain?
