BSA platinum 36 reticle canted

I’ve had this scope for years - not sure where i purchased. It has sit in box and until i mounted on a new 17wsm i didnt realize the reticle is canted. I’m sure warranty is a 1 yr and long gone. I mounted scope and did shoot rifle to sight in but can not stand the crooked reticle. The scope held zero but the cant has to go ! I could mount scope off level so the reticle was correct but can’t do that either ! It would probably move anyhow if i did. I will not send scope for repair so im going to ask - has anyone tried to straighten reticle by taking scope apart ? I have taken scopes apart before just to see what’s inside and trashed later but i like this scope. It’s clear and has dot reticle. I wonder since reticle has moved will it effect zero at some point or could i move reticle back and tighten down ? And use scope. Not a major deal to me just to trash scope but wanted to ask. This rifle will be a shoot a crow ground hog not a big deal type rifle but i do want it right. Has anyone had same problem with a bsa scope and able to fix ? I can see a arken or Riton or older Tasco fixed on this rifle but wanted to ask for any input on the bsa platinum
