This may or may not be a completely separate issue from the bleed, but a 57 should be able to physically sit on the top snare head, and the mic itself won't clip.
I agree... honestly you shouldn't be clipping at any time with a 57. Your pre amp gain might be very low (10-20db) if you're really close mic'ed...but there should be no overload.

I'd really look into this and find out what's wrong. It could be the main reason you are having problems. Tell us about your gain settings.

Edit: I did a quick check of the digi 002 specs and it seems the minimum mic pre gain is 15 db!!??
I'm not liking that very much!

I think I see some inline passive balanced mic attenuators in your future...10 or 20 db. You'll never get good drum sound if you're clipping the pres.
