I hate to throw a monkey wrench into the mix, but I think the most important azimuth is the azimuth of the generator, not the stylus. That's why it's very important for stylus azimuth to be in sync with generator azimuth. In your case, the stylus is so far off that it becomes more critical to align for stylus azimuth and thereby obliterate channel separation from grossly incorrect generator azimuth. My guess is that your channel separation (crosstalk) might be worse than -20-dB with that much tilt on the generator. You really need to unglue the cantilever assembly and correct its azimuth instead of tilting the cartridge and ruining channel separation.
For example, below are two graphs of crosstalk for my DL-103R. In the first graph my DL-103R was perfectly level whereas in the second graph I optimized generator azimuth with less than one-degree tilt in the opposite direction yours is tilted. My guess is that yours is tilted about three-degrees, maybe four, which will have significant impact on crosstalk. It wouldn't surprise me if your crosstalk measured in the neighborhood of -20-dB when it should be better than -30-dB.
