The wobble appears to be linked directly to the spider gene, and cannot therefore be bred out. We know this because the spider is one of the most out-crossed morphs there is, because it does not have a super form.
Your bee's offspring may wobble a lot, or they may wobble very little, even show no sign of it at all. You'll probably have a few of each in every clutch--and you would have if your bee had shown no sign of a wobble, too.
Wobble does not affect feeding response. My spider has a moderate wobble, and he's always been game to eat whatever is offered to him--if he misses, he comes back around and tries again, which some of my balls would never do.
My male has produced wobbler hatchlings, and non-wobbler hatchlings. It appears to be as random as the amount of white on a pied.
No normal animals from any spider clutch I have produced have shown signs of a wobble. Wobble in normals or other morphs may be due to neurological or inner ear problems unrelated to the spider wobble.
