I'd like to see a video of the player in action. I honestly don't hear any issue with a B string and I'm a guitar player. A strummed instrument is naturally comprised of drone harmonics. If it were buzzing or rattling I'd be concerned.
As it is, it sounds like a bit of a heavier right hand, a heavy pick, and a mic placement issue. I hear a lot of low-mid/bass boominess that's going to affect the entire mix. Mic it up between 12/14th frets and loosen your wrist. Strum like the pick is a match you're trying to extinguish. The action doesn't come from your shoulder or elbow, it's from your wrist.
The pick shouldn't be thicker than .73. I wouldn't go above 11 gauge strings either. Coated/bronze/nickel doesn't matter. Generally dreadnaughts like that are strung with 12s, but to me that's for bluegrass or country when a strong low end is called for. Rock or pop doesn't need it. The bass is plenty in that area.
Good luck!
