while lowering the radials will increase the amount of R in Z, one of the easiest ways to increase R is to use capacitive top hat loading. as for the input matching this can be had by utilizing a *shunt feed type matching network. you must also make sure that the radiating element is cut to 5/8 precisely where it attaches to or "taps" the inductor. this* also places the entire antenna system at direct DC ground potential.
