Get a new saddle. Maybe the B17 shape just isn't for you.
It's hard to believe that your B17 is harder to break in that your B6X saddle. The B6X saddles are generally much harder to break in, as they are made from much stouter leather. I've had a B68 for a couple of years now, with about 1,000 miles on it, and it hasn't even started to break in yet. The B17 that I bought this year was nicely broken in after just a couple months.
