Go ahead and use some subtrim. Wont hurt anything.

OR my favorite

Get some turnbuckles from FBL Rotors   (fblrotors.com).  Turnbuckles will allow nearly infinite adjustability and they are just awesome. Everybody likes awesome! :-)

If you're that close, you're probably not going to see any ill effects.  Also, is you're using a zip tie, chances are that it's going to move that much as you rotate it around, anyway.

If you want to get really OCD about it, you'll want to get a set of turnbuckles from Ralph at fblrotors.com and a swash plate leveling tool.

If you want to get really crazy the Soko Heli tool measures to a tenth of a degree i spent many long nights with the turnbuckles from fblrotors trying to get my swash perfect. the soko and turnbuckles are a must for any heli. You cant set up a bird any more exact than with those two items.
