Go down a gauge to 9's.

That, plus keep practising. Your finger strength will come in time; I use 11's in standard and I have no problem bending.

Maybe you need a good guitar setup. Both my SG and Euro Caddy were like that. It could be the truss rod being tweaked to much, when it was built.
It's amazing what a competent guitar repairman can do to make an axe work.
