I know you incorrectly shimmed them because only half of each tooth was stripped, you aren't giving the gears maximum contact. Though about what Phil just said, I don't know whether those are standard or high speed for sure.
No, don't use a weaker spring. If you go with a weaker spring, the piston may not return to battery fast enough, causing the sector gear to crash in to the piston rack. Anything in the gear train can be destroyed at that point.

I also recommend using bearings and high speed gears.

Make note: stock gears (especially Tokyo Marui) will NOT fit in to ball bearing bushings - regardless of the brand of the bearings.
