Personally I would go up to 11s or at the very least to 10s with a wound 3rd if you aren't already. Ricks always sound better with a wound 3rd in my opinion - it stops the G sounding so clangy. Essential with Toaster pickups but still better with High-Gains.

Or superglue if you’re really sure...

Heavy strings work for me on Rics. Great guitars if you can get along with them. Had a few, now have zero. I should do something about that.

The bridges are a pain the bumhole, but once you get all four screws where you like them, dab a little superglue with a cocktail stick where the screw thread touches the plate the saddles sit on. Then they won’t turn. Or fall out...
Loctite threadlock is another option but it tends to be coloured. I believe nail varnish can also work, but I’ve never tried this.
For a “60s” sound you need a compressor turned up as squidged as it can go. That will get you a lot closer than strings or pickups.
