I would experiment with different pick material and pick thickness. I think thinner picks, that are easier to use tend to grab the strings more than a thicker pick. Also, like you mentioned, try to have as little of the pick exposed. 1/4″ to 1/8″ of the tip exposed. Your knuckles may still hit the strings a bit until your technique improves. I also don’t like real pointy picks, and prefer a smoother, more rounded tip.

I struggled a lot with strumming. A Blue Chip pick was a game changer for me. They are pricey though at $35 a piece.
