I just had a look at the latest version of the bo105 that I have here and the <sfric> is set to 0.5 and the <dfric> to 0.4, which are both lower than default values of 0.8 & 0.7. It's possible that these values have been changed since I last updated but you might want to check these. Something else you might not have tried is to include a series of gear elements along the length of each of the skids, instead of just one at each end, and then slightly raise the end gear elements so that they only touch down once the intermediate gear elements have compressed or when the aircraft pitches. You'll need to adjust the <spring> and <compression> values for the intermediate gear elements. If the end-skid elements only come in to play on heavy landings, or while pitching, you could keep those pretty stiff.
