When these balls first came out, people said the CB was definitely not the Activator coverstock. I believe that anohter person said that Lane#1 themselves confirmed this.
If the CB is too much, then the Inferno will probably be too much. 4x4 is a nice drilling, fairly strong but not an especially early rolling drilling. After all the CB is a pearl. I think you just bought the wrong ball, it seem far to strong for the oil pattern you are facing.
From all you say, I would have to believe you need a milder ball, like an Emerald or a Power Groove for your oil pattern.
YOu can of course, try re-drilling the CB with the pin above the bridge to get more length, but remember the cover stock rules the reaction. Such a re-drillign will not make the ball milder; it will delay the reaction. To rduce the reaction you might have to put the pin at least 5" away from your PAP, maybe 6". But that would almost defeat the purpose of this ball. Why not save it for the oil pattern on which you can use it and get a cheaper, milder ball for the oil pattern (and amount) you are now facing?
