Overlapping Labels in Pie-Chart

Are there any Settings to avoid having overlapping labels in a Pie Chart in SSRS? I have several Charts with the same Problem, if the Slices are too small the Text will overlap. Here is a Picture of my Problem and a possible way as how i want it to be:

EDIT edited the 3D Options so the Labels fit in like I wanted them to be. But another Problem occurred when setting rotation and inclination to zero, the colors aren't as intensive as they where before:

You can try this..

1)On the design surface, right-click outside the pie chart but inside the chart borders and select Chart Area Properties.The Chart Area Properties dialog box appears.

2)On the 3D Options tab, select Enable 3D.

3)If you want the chart to have more room for labels but still appear two-dimensional, set the Rotation and Inclination properties to 0.
