Moving shower drain rough in over 3/4 - 1" ?

[Jmaclicious]

Curious, I had to rip out an older shower pan due to it cracking around the drain and I will be replacing it with a heavy duty 175 lb cast iron kohler pan... however the rough in on this new pan drain is 3/4 to 1" to the right of my current position... is it possible I could just lean it that way into the new shower pan so i dont have to jack hammer concrete and dig it out in order to do this? Or should I cut down the pipe a bit and add a fernco fitting for more pliability? I could pull it the 1" and put a block to hold it in place. The pictures are the current position, the 2nd pic is where I need it to be when i pull on the pipe.

Drain is ABS pipe.

Absolutely not! For the drain to seal properly, it needs to come up vertical. I know it's tempting, but especially with a 175 pound cast shower pan, you do not want anything going wrong with the installation.
