When my kiwames were around 33+, I grinded 5-4 and 7-1 most of the time since they're really resource friendly. Sometimes it got really boring so I tried to do math: a sword gets around 7500 exp one time you finish 7-1 boss, this means 40 boss node would get you up one level. You only need to do 10 bosses a day to level up in 4 days. For leader and mvp this will be much faster.

Now onto 40+ kiwame, it doesn't help at 7-2, I remembered getting 3-5 troops lost every time I entered 7-2, yari damage was 12-14hp or 8hp depends on how many troops the yari has, and 4x kiwame is not faster than chuu-waki. Also at 45+ troops lost in 7-1 is a lot higher than lower level kiwame (not sure why) so bear with it.

At mid 5x, you virtually get no troop lost in 7-1 and 7-2 so it's a lot better to grind, though yari damage still stay the same. Your team would also out-speed chuu-waki so S-rank at boss is pretty often. 7-3 is still a nightmare unless you have a lots of resource in hands.

You can try to level faster at 7-4, stage 2 would provide more exp than 7-1 & 7-2 and stage 1 has the same exp as x2 campaign, though grinding 7-4 stage 1 is only recommended for lvl60+ kiwame.

All in all, it will take a lot of time, but they will level up eventually, and it's nice seeing their exp bar slowly change as well :D
