Don't do 1cm.

Start with a 130mm stem...TRUST. Don't think. Just do it.

130mm stem. Pick a stem angle and risers to put your hands similarly above the tire line as you have them now. Essentially sliding your hands forward 3cm.

Video/mark the session. Report back. You'll be amazed.

EDIT:

Also, if you have one, use a rear wheel trainer (mag or fluid) that way you don't have to worry about staying upright on rollers. Mag is preferred because you can add resistance and see if and how your form changes under load.
