It might have been possible to heat the seat stay when it was only braze tacked together and pull the drop out down 1/2 mm or whatever. I just brazed a frame together a few month ago... same thing. I figured it out before painting it, so I took a file to the vertical drop out and presto, it's fixed. Sometimes I have had to put a little brass in a vertical drop out and file it down until the wheel sits properly. I bought this cheap aluminum Force bike with vertical drop outs. Wheel with perfect dish... off center. Off to the file again, now it's fine. I can tell you if the frame is somehow out of alignment (drop outs to the left or right) this is not going to center the wheel/ fix it. Unless it was in a car accident and off by a centimeters (not millimeters). I still think your best opinion is as Doug Fattic said bend the drop out down slightly, and then use some epoxy as filler so the axle has something the right height to sit on. Chrome will be intact/ wheel will sit centered.
