Okay - since I knew the change would only cost me a set of strings, I took the chance and re-strung the guitar with the strings going over the roller bar.

Et Voila! There is still enough angle from the main Bigsby roller to retain proper tension while relieving the extreme angle over the bridge. The result is a much more playable Les Paul with that sweet Bigsby Tremolo sound.
