Another way to handle this would be to drill entirely new holes at right angles to the existing holes in the leg or legs that need adjustment.

Plug the unused holes so water doesn't get in there.

You can tell that I wouldn't go through a major re-engineer on this thing for such a small problem.

I should have made it clear that the 1st section would be on the base attached with the bolts in at least one leg, and the section held plumb. Then a half inch bit can be used to drill out the holes on the other leg(s). That way you end up with 1/2" round holes all the way through, not egg shaped holes.

Structurally that amount of lean wouldn't be a problem.

I would hog out the holes to 1/2" and use 1/2" hardware. It's only a 40' tower.

Spray some cold galvanizing in there - a couple applications - and call it good.
