60/65 psi on 25 mm tires?

Hi! I weigh around ~56 kg and my bike is just under 9 kg. For the most part, I ride on rough pavement. Using Silca's tire pressure calculator, it recommends around 80 psi front and 85 rear for my 25 mm tires but I find it pretty uncomfortable. Heck, even dropping down to 70/75 is still a bit jarring to me. I've tried running 60/65 a few times and they seem to be a noticeable improvement, but I'm worried if that's too low and I have a higher risk of bottoming out. My internal rim width is pretty narrow at 15 mm, so the 25 mm tires measure to exactly 25 mm, give or take. What do you guys think? Is this a good excuse to ditch these tires and go get 28 mm?
