If this were me, I would try two things.
I would first try bedding the brakes, but not in the traditional way. Rather, what I have done in the past is just drive for a while at a constant speed (about 50 MPH) while applying the brakes hard enough to tell they are biting in and creating friction on the rotors. I would do it with the windows down, and when I started to smell them, I would release the brakes, and then drive non-stop for at least 15 minutes to let them cool down before letting the car come to a stop.
The second thing to try is to put some brake pad lubricant (grease) on the backs of the pads (the sides facing the calipers). Do make sure to get the back side completely coated, but don't put too much and go overboard because one must ensure that one DOES NOT GET ANY LUBRICANT ON THE PAD SIDE WHICH TOUCHES THE ROTORS. Also, I would put just a little bit of lubricant around the outer metallic periphery of the pad.
