Get closest mesh point to actor?

My player has a collision sphere to detect any static mesh that gets close to it.

I need to find the closest point on the static meshes that are colliding with it.

I think I could use "Get Actor Bounds" to get the mesh boundaries and then use them to find the closest point but I'm not sure how to do it.

I also thought about using a trace but I would need to cast many of them in order to find the right one, and I would need a way to make the trace hit only the meshes I care about.

Right now I'm simply using the "Get Actor Location" but that gives me the center of the static mesh.

How should I approach the problem?
