Using a very tiny allen wrench (probably, though some bridges do use little screws), lower the height of the bridge saddles to bring the string height down.

First of all you've got to see if the neck is bowed, a very slight amount of inward bow is acceptable.
When you adjust the height of your strings either by saddle adjustment or neck straightening you will then need to check the intonation as lowering the strings will affect (flatten) the intonation at the 12th fret.
