It's a lot easier to go into the CSS and set the margins to 0 that are causing the overall L/R margins.

By editing ePub to how I want, I've learned a lot about HTML/CSS for ePub. So if you did it, you too could learn HTML/CSS for ePub.

Also, you can remove a lot of rubbish. SOmetimes the CSS can have lots of excess classes. Sometimes the cover is either generic or too small so that can be fixed. Sometimes you get previews/adverts for other books. They can be removed. Embedded fonts you don't want can be removed. Any of the HTML you don't want such as review blurbs can be removed. Metadata can be fixed if needed. And more.
