How would I replace kotlin-stdlib-jre8 with the jdk version in libraries I am using with gradle? I tried adding the jdk as a dependency, and then this on top of the build file:

configurations.all {
    exclude group: "org.jetbrains.kotlin", module: "kotlin-stdlib-jre8"
    exclude group: "org.jetbrains.kotlin", module: 'kotlin-stdlib-jre7'
}

but with gradle's dependencyInsight the jre is still there..

-jdk7/8 artifacts are not binary drop-in replacements for -jre7/8. You need to use dependencies recompiled with -jdk7/8 instead of -jre7/8 if you don't want to have the latter brought transitively.
