Your going to be a little hard pressed to really re position that spring to affect how much grease gets wiped off. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If anything, you could pull the firing pin, pull the bolt head off, remove the baffle, put the bolt head back on, apply grease, and then push the bolt as far foward as possible, cycle it a couple times, pull it back out, and reassemble.
Its more important that you use a good quality grease than how much you can get on the lugs. Poor grease will wipe off right away anyways. Something like Mobil 1 synthetic moly would be sufficient. If you can, get some cornhead grease...that stuff is wicked good at staying on whatever it touches. I use it on the snap rollers on the cornhead and its made to stay put and stand up to the constant friction between the snap rollers and holder bushings.
