Work on your fretting hand too, Use the ball of the finger to bend and the tip of the finger to stop the string above. Takes practise, works for me.

work on your picking hand. Run your scales loud and clean

There's nothing wrong with coming into contact with a neighboring string. The problem is if you hear it. So what you need to do is to learn to rest your pick (or a fingernail) on the offending string on your picking follow-thru. When Stevie Ray did some of his huge bends, he bent his high E string into the B and then picked them both and got some great extra emotion into the lick.
