Feathering is just a matter turning the softbox such that it's not pointed directly at the subject. This won't be a satisfactory solution in all cases, but it costs nothing to try.
Placing gels over the strobe will only affect focusing if you're depending primarly on the modelling light. Given that your shutter speed is probably around 1/200, room lights can usually be left on because they get overpowered by the strobe(s).
