Don't think it will really help much. You may get a slightly tighter sound, but it may be at the expense of something else. Really your only chance of salvaging this is a very careful mix where you get rid of everything that isn't needed at a given time and where you embrace your bleed rather than completely fight it.

None of the above... I'd never compress a piano if I could avoid it. Perhaps a bit on a bass and perhaps a bit with a horn soloist to avoid radical volume shifts, but I try to preserve all ensemble dynamics in a mix.
