Another option might be to enable horizontal scrolling for the table by adding overflow-x:auto; to the stylesheet for the parent div.

div.table-responsive {
  overflow-x:auto;
}

Don't try to fight fisics, my friends. Maybe you can hide the less important columns using media queries, show 3 instead of 6
