You'd really need alternative springs to sort it out to an acceptable level but that of course means money
Adding oil & raising it's level within the forks changes the final third of travel, you could get some benefits there but it's masking the problem and you start increasing the chances of blowing fork seals
What about adding spring preload, with the correct volume of thicker oil? Will that make it a bit better, like half way there, or just make it lousy in a different way - like you said - masking the problem? :\
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
