Weird, did you try put extra paddening around the whole pad? I've used kitchen papertowel that I've stuffed underneath the pads on many headphones where my ear would touch the driver casing and slowly but surely build up discomfort and it helped GREATLY in all cases I've tested. Altough you must be careful to not make the cups deeper than necessary this way or you will affect the sound signature too (from my experience the further away the driver gets from the ear the more distant mids) altough the M100 drivers have holes underneath which tends to increase highs so stuffing a very thin layer underneath the pads might even help to bring mids more forward by covering the holes on the underside of the pads (you take away from one area, the other gets more forward-sounding in comparision) and this was also the case if for example applying a thin layer under the Q40 pads, the mids came very slightly forward as a result from the holes on the underside of the pad getting covered up, this would be the very first thing I'd test when getting a M100 in case I felt the mids could be slightly more forward.
-I've attempted to stuff rolled up tissues underneath the lip of the pads in strategic areas. (ie. the top and rear) I found this made the pads feel too stiff, so I tried cotton. The same result... and my ears still bottomed out.
