I would consider that action to be normal. You definitely have room on 3mm saddle to lower it. Don't forget if you lower the saddle 1mm the the action at the 12th fret will be lowered by half that at .5mm. A 2mm saddle should give you plenty of break. You don't need as much break as you may think. Carruth has done some studies on this that show very shallow break angles impart just as much energy to the top as steep ones.
And if it really bothers you then you could always cut keyhole slots and ramps.
Still it's hard to diagnose stuff like this on the Internet, especially without pics. You might want to take it in to someone who can evaluate it. But by your description I think you would get away with a setup to lower your action forgoing a neck reset.
