I am wondering what is going to happen to the headspace when you twist that barrel. Your OP said the sight was at 11:00. That's 1/12th of a turn (30 degrees). At 10 t.p.i., that's backing off .0083 and, of course, headspace tolerance is .006. The out-of-plum condition is probably not that bad but even at only 10 degrees (which would be hard to notice), that's adding .0027 to the headspace, which is a pretty good chunk of the .006 tolerance.

Is the barrel going to be loose? Will the torque from firing in the RH twist tighten it up again?

I still say move the sight and leave the barrel alone to avoid more problems.

BTW: What about the rear sight? Is that centered with the front sight cock-a-skewed? Are you going to have to relocate that, too?
