OK...

Dirt is a low friction surface, so the heavy end of the car is going to want to keep going in the same direction, period. Anything you do is really just trying to make the rear less sticky.

Slowing down at corner entry and smoothly powering out as you unwind the wheel through a late apex is probably a could change to your driving style and will suit the car quite well.

For the street, more camber in the front is not a great option. You could try making the rear less negative, or bumping rear pressures 2-5 pounds.

More front caster such as an ALK would definitely help, and would actually increase front traction instead of lowering rear traction.

Assuming you don't want a rocking beast, removing the front swaybar is not a great idea, so upping the rear is probably next easiest.
