I spoke to a few teachers who specialize in teaching Chinese to native English speakers about this this week - they're graduate students at Peking University, except for one who already has a PhD and teaches at Columbia - and they all say both Pleco and CC-Edict are wrong: unlike 经历, 经验 cannot function as a verb. They all say the real difference between the two terms is that 经验 refers to what you learn from 经历. (Also that 经历 can be a verb, and in its noun form can be countable.)

Wish I could edit Pleco too.

=====================================================

Edit: You *can* suggest changes to Pleco by writing to feedback@pleco.com.

But you might also like to write to all these other dictionaries that have the verb sense, to set them straight.

MoE ~ 1. 實地體驗。西遊記˙第二十六回:「菩薩道:『我這淨瓶底「甘露水」,善治得仙樹靈苗。』行者道:『可曾經驗過麼?』」紅樓夢˙第四十二回:「把古往今來沒見過的,沒吃過的,沒聽過的都經驗了。」2. ...

Zdic ~ 1. ... 2. 人亲身经历
对那里的严寒,他是有经验的

nciku ~ 2. 动 亲身经历或体验
他经验过丧失亲人的痛苦。

Xinhua ~ ②经历①;体验:这样的事,我从来没~过。
@ 经历① ~
①亲身见过、做过或遭受过:他一生~过两次世界大战。

New Century ~ 1. 名 experience 2. 动 go through; experience; undergo

New Age: 1. ... 2. go through; experience

Xiandai Hanyu Cidian also has the verb sense.

The Web has lots of examples of verb usage
2 million hits for "经验过"
e.g.
回忆:当经验过的事物不在面前能把它重新回想。
