How to remove the handle from a kohler faucet?
Once you have removed the screw from the handle, you may be able to gently pull the handle away from the valve. Some handles may have a small set screw on the side that needs to be loosened first. If the handle does not easily come off, gently tap it with a soft rubber mallet or use a handle puller tool to carefully remove it. If the handle is still stuck, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a plumber for further assistance.

Replace cartidge kohler K-10270-4-CP
It looks like the valve is installed from the bottom of the fixture, My guess is that the entire fixture has to be removed to get to the valves.

Valve is set to far into the wall...
First, your not going to like the solution. There really is no way to solve this on kohler faucets. Some companies make adapters but as far as I know kohler isn't one of them. Hopefully you can cut a hole in the drywall behind and put it where it should be, if not the marble comes back off.
