You have to assign lethal damage to the first creature in the damage assignment order before you can assign damage to the next creature in the DAO, and so on. When determining how much damage needs to be assigned to count as lethal damage, you only look at the current toughness of the creature to be damaged and any damage already marked on it.
Deathtouch has an exception here, in that 1 damage from a source with deathtouch is always lethal damage. When an indestructible creature blocks a creature with trample, lethal damage still needs to be assigned to it before you can assign trample damage.
This means that it will deal damage in both the first strike and regular combat damage steps, and since the damage is prevented by the protection ability, the token will be undamaged after the first strike combat damage step, so the attacking player will need to assign another 1 damage to it in the regular combat damage step.
As it turns out and possibly counterintuitively , trample does go through protection. The point is that the attacker must assign lethal damage to the defending creature, and then they are free to assign the rest to the player. In this case the attacking Rimrock Knight must do 1 damage to your token for each of its combat steps - since the token isn't destroyed, it can absorb one damage during first strike damage and then another one damage during regular damage , and the rest goes to you.
Once all those blocking creatures are assigned lethal damage, any excess damage is assigned as its controller chooses among those blocking creatures and the player or planeswalker the creature is attacking. Notably opponent can also choose to do you no damage, if they assign all the damage to the token.

Trample is primary placed in green on the color wheel , but red 's share has been growing over time.
Any color is allowed access to trample if the creature is large enough and of a higher rarity. Trample was introduced in Alpha. It has also been printed on small creatures with no intrinsic ability to gain power, such as on Defiant Elf , but these are rare. Trample was removed from the core set with the Sixth Edition. Later on, WotC introduced a vertical cycle of creatures known as " super tramplers " in the Starter starter-level set, which were all reprinted in Seventh Edition.
Lone Wolf , Pride of Lions and Thorn Elemental each can do combat damage to defending players as though they weren't blocked. It is said that this ability was created because Wizards thought trample was too confusing, yet this new ability wasn't taken too well in its place. Consequently, Trample was brought back in Ninth Edition. We're not trying to dumb the game down. In fact, we want the Core Set to be a teaching tool, which means we want it to cover as much ground as realistically possible, which is why we worked so hard for a way to get trample and protection and equipment into Ninth Edition.
In the silver-bordered set Unstable , Trample appeared for the first time on a non-creature spell Super-Duper Death Ray because, ostensibly, putting trample on spells was not possible to be parsed through the black-border rules. Ram Through mimics trample damage, Toralf, God of Fury grants an even more powerful form of trample, and Aegar, the Freezing Flame rewards "overkilling".
Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths introduced trample counters. The Ninth Edition reminder text read: Trample If this creature would assign enough damage to its blockers to destroy them, you may have it assign the rest of its damage to defending player or planeswalker.
Starting with Magic Origins , it gained a new reminder text: Trample This creature can deal excess combat damage to defending player or planeswalker while attacking. There was no change to how trample worked, the reminder text was just changed for clarity and brevity. In Unstable , the keyword featured on Super-Duper Death Ray an instant direct damage spell with a new adapted reminder text This spell can deal excess damage to its target's controller.
When Dominaria abandoned the Planeswalker redirection rule , the reminder text was changed to This creature can deal excess combat damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking.
