That's on the edge of where I'd recommend shimming. Shimming will reduce the break angle over the saddles and make the strings feel... -
If it plays fine for you maybe leave it. I would probably shim that one a bit. But too much and the screws will protrude and dig into...

Have you had the neck off? Perhaps it's already shimmed (incorrectly) and that's the issue? Or the pocket is uneven? It doesn't take...

-
I'd leave it. You have a solid break angle, no screws ripping your hand.. what else do you need?:)
