That ain't much of a difference in taper though, at least in that image.


How much of a difference that taper makes is going to depend on the size of the oil passage in the head.

You shouldn't have warp issues using a cut stud, assuming you can torque that stud to the same value... I still think you should use these things, maybe cut that particular stud slightly... IF this was a systemic problem, the studs would be redesigned.
