Even a large directional antenna with a narrow forward beam will allow for several degrees of aiming error. Smaller antennas that aren't very directional may only need to be aimed to within 10 or 20 degrees to do well.

You don't need to worry about one degree. In this forum, you'll often see a suggested aim point provided with a system recommendation. In the end, adjust the aim for best results. If you have a signal meter function on your TV, use it to help gauge the effect of your adjustments. When the signals come from various angles, it's an exercise in compromise.
