I tried.
Changing the front wheel from 4wd minipin on narrow rim to stagger rib, that helped alot in stability and less traction rolls.
adding 2mm washer to bumpsteer to get rid of bump steer.
removed the 2mm washers from front camber links (both sides)
added 2mm washer on 'B' on the rear hubs, 1mm washer inside the chassis. (1st hole)
moved the full size lipo battery forward to help.
That about it.

Part of your problem is that you've literally done everything to get rid of steering (set-up wise), and now you're wanting more steering.
You can't have it both ways.

OK, the other thing is that, in my eyes I think you might be expecting too much.
"2wd cars, especially 2wd offroad dirt cars, especially 2wd offroad rear-motor cars are notorious for their on-throttle understeer"
This is why mid-motor cars, being run on higher traction (ozite/astro) surfaces, are so popular in Europe - and why rear-motor cars, being run on low traction (dirt) surfaces, are so popular in the U.S.
On top of all that I think you need to change your driving style, as you're used to mashing the throttle and having the front wheels (4wd) pull you through the corner. And now you need to slow down and allow the car to take a set going into the corner, and/or modulating the throttle/brake to get the rearend of the car to swing around - instead of being hard on the gas which just keeps the front wheels unweighted in a lightweight 2wd buggy.
The final thing is finding a set of tyres that match up to your conditions and needs: getting more front traction/steering will eventually result in traction rolling, along with finding rears that maybe don't have as much traction as the ones you're currently using (you still haven't said what rear tyres you're using, and you might try something as simple as going to some that are less aggressive/have less bite).
Other than that, there are a lot of different set-ups on here already (you need to read them), and it's a matter of you finding one that works for you.
There is no magic potion, magic dust, or magic set-up that works for everyone everywhere all the time.
