On a Walther LP500 mechanical trigger, how would one adjust it so the 2nd stage is not so crisp ?

Walther call 2nd stage travel as " creep".

6.5.6.1 Mechanical trigger
• Dismantle the grip (see Section 6.1.1).
• Turn the setscrew (2, Fig. 15) clockwise with a 2 mm Allen key. The trigger creep will decrease.
6.5.6.2 Electronic trigger
• Dismantle the grip (see Section 6.1.1).
• Turn the setscrew (2, Fig. 16) clockwise with a 2 mm Allen key. The trigger creep will decrease.
6.5.7 Adjusting the pawl intersection (only for mechanical trigger)
The setscrew (1) is adjusted in the factory and should not be altered. Any changes to it will
break a seal. The owner will then no longer be entitled to free adjustment at the factory.
Observe the warnings on page 24!
If the pawl intersection must be adjusted, observe these instructions:
• Dismantle the grip (see Section 5.2.1).
• With a cocked and unloaded pistol (cocking lever in vertical
position) screw the setscrew (1) in until the trigger disconnects
on its own.
• Then turn back the setscrew by exactly a 1/4 rotation.
CAUTION
If the trigger creep is too tight, it can lead to irregular shots and pistol malfunctions.
Increase the trigger creep.
