I've had the same problem before. So I bedded only the pillars first. Put two layers of tape around action bolts to center in pillars. Tape the barrel and tang area to center and free float both in the stock. Put extra bedding on back pillar to fill in and build up the wood area you lost. The bedding compound should be thick enough to stay in place. After bedding the pillars you have everything lined up perfect and can come back and bed the recoil lug and action. Use a dremel tool to clean up excess bedding in trigger well.
