Is this slight bend even a real problem? If the axle stays put once the nuts are done up, and there's no tangible wheel or frame misalignment, all you really need is a large, good quality washer under the left track nut.
I'd be more worried that any attempt to realign the lower edge of the dropout would result in a stress concentration at the forward end of the axle slot, which means a decent framebuilder would insist on you having a new dropout dropped in (as it were).
