You should be able to push in the shaft all the way in w/o having to apply lots of force on it. In high traction track, you don't need any shock rebound. Sometimes it's hard to accomplish no rebound w/o the vent hole on shock cap. So minimum rebound would be fine.
I don't think the oil strength should be taken into account for solving your problem because oil is mostly just to dampen the shocks, not to control how much the shock travels. It's the springs that control it.
If that doesn't work, I really think the shaft length will resolve the problem even if you have to shorten it further than 11mm. Just one quick turn. Let us know how that turns out. Really curious.
