How to nudge the guided upright guides by a pixel or two or three?

Lightroom Classic CC 7.3.1

I am using the Guided Upright tool, I can draw the four lines and it does a good job of improving the image alignment.

But sometimes, I want to nudge the guide by a small number of pixels, but if I use the mouse there's really no way to achieve this fine level of control. Is there a way to nudge the guides by a pixel or two or three?

In Camera Raw you can slow down the movement of the guides by holding the alt-key, if I’m not mistaken. Lightroom does not have that feature unfortunately.

Holding the Alt key does slows down the guide movement with LR 7.3.1 on my Windows 7 system. Not sure you can actually move it a few pixels, but it provides finer adjustment.

On my Mac I do not see a real difference.

On my LR 7.3.1 / MacOS 10.13.4, I've observed the following:

Holding Opt when first placing a control point makes a small but not that useful difference, at least for me.

However, after placing the control point and releasing the mouse button, holding Opt while subsequently adjusting the control point makes a big difference.  A couple of screenshots indicates a factor of about 7.5 -- e.g. moving the mouse 75 pixels moves the control point 10 pixels.

Also, adjusting the control point while zoomed in 1:1 or 2:1 makes it much smoother too.

adjusting the control point while zoomed in 1:1 or 2:1 makes it much smoother too.

..and if you zoom in to 4:1 or 8:1 it's straightforward to place the control point on an exact pixel.
