That is scary isnt' it!
There is a small amount of adjustment you can make if you don't mind fiddling a bit. I had some cap grenades in the past that took too much impact to go off, so I adjusted the indentation in the spoon if I recall correctly to make it more sensitive. I think it could easily work in reverse for you so you can enjoy your grenade! You could try increasing the indentation depth in the spoon slightly or another option might be to slightly increase the height of the striker by prying gently against the spring pivot.
