I drove cross country 8,000 miles with almost 3 degrees of front camber without tire wear issues. I wouldn't stress about it. The amount of time and money you'll spend trying to make it easily adjustable is far more than the minimal extra wear you'll put on your tires.

If you autocross/track on your street tires (I know, you don't), you'll balance out the tire wear with your track miles. If you run dedicated street tires, you probably aren't buying super-expensive ones, and what's the cost of a pair of front tires... $150? You might shorten their life by 1/4... what's that... $35-40? Not worth a lot of extra modification if you ask me.
