Be very careful before changing anything with the original geometry. There are a lot of factors involved. The height of the maststep will affect the height at the partners (deck) and every stay, not just the headstay. There are deck ties which hold the mast to the deck, they will be good guides

I would guess the foot of your mast has some heel in it to allow the mast head to position fore and aft during sailing. If so installing the mast step at some angle would control where the contact point is and thereby how the load is spread out over the girders ( stringers ). The configuration

If you have 6 inches of rake, as measured 30 feet down from the top of the mast, then the angle is 2.9 degrees from vertical. TAN(30/0.5) That is not zero, but it is not much. Measurable yes, but I doubt that you could see it from a casual inspection. Probably the same effort to set it at a smal
