Removing the heatspreader and using a proper block is likely to give better results than anything you do with the heatspreader on.
People seem to think AS is a good conductor of heat. News flash - it sucks. It's better than pretty much any other TIM, but TIMs as a group are about a factor of 100 worse than copper for thermal conductivity.
