Wedge & off-level pier

I've got an SCT currently mounted on a pier which is slightly off level (perhaps 1/8" over the top plate's 16" diameter). I've got an LX200GPS on it, which doesn't really care if its level or not, so it hasn't been a problem.

But I'm considering getting a wedge for a polar mounting. Given that the wedges are adjustable along two perpendicular axes, I should be able to point directly toward the celestial pole even starting from slightly off-level right?

All right, someone wants to respond to this. Don't you?
