I tried setting -kobo-font-hintstyle: 0; in a kepub stylesheet, but it didn't make the slightest bit of difference to the rendering of the built-in fonts on my Glo with firmware 3.16.0, so it might be that the only way is to strip the hinting from the fonts. That is easy to do with fontforge for sldeloaded fonts, but I don't know any way to change the built-in fonts.
BTW I can't see any problems with the rendering of the built-in fonts at all, although I don't use them much anymore, they look fine to me apart from the fact that some such as Georgia lack kerning, and that the KEPUB reader doesn't support ligatures (one on the reasons I prefer the EPUB reader.)
Edit: The only difference I can see in your example photos is that the one on the right looks a bit sharper and a bit lighter, but it is hard to tell if that is the sharpness/weight settings or just because of the difference in font size and a better photo. Having actual screenshots to compare could make a difference.
