Default Correcting incidence

I know this is likely to be a stupid question.

One of my airplanes (a Kougar) has 3/4 to 1 degree positive wing incidence. The incidence should be zero. I did not build the airplane but apparently the horizontal stabilizer was put on with the front of the stab down relative to the wing. To compensate the prop has 4 degrees of down incidence relative to the stab.

Does anyone have a trick to correct the stab incidence without a total makeover. Is there is a way to partially correct the incidence.
