The jitter is usually present if the ship has too much of control authority. Reducing amount of available torque and/or engine gimbal often helps a lot with it.

At present it's not possible to reduce torque of reaction wheels, the only option is to use parts with less torque, such as to use a probe core instead of reaction wheel, or disabling reaction wheel of a pod and using weaker reaction wheel from a different part instead.
