I'm not sure that shimming will make it worse,
take it to the extreme i.e. if you shimmed it an inch, the arc of the tip would be passing the valve on the inside, or is my reasoning wrong??

that was my thought , but that was ASSuMEing the rocker shaft holdown pedestals were parallel to the valve stems , they angle toward the valves it seems, I don't have a head handy to confirm this.
