Such a thing as an offset + popup drain?

I am trying to replace the trap on a powder-room drain installed in our house back in the 1950s. It is a 1-1/4 American Standard popup drain with overflow. Whoever did the original install did not put enough space between the sink drain pipe and the candy-cane pipe coming up out of the floor through the wooden base of the vanity. (The drain pipe in the basement below the powder-room floor is cast iron.) And so, when the new trap is threaded on, the threads are not perfectly aligned on the same axis but about 3/16" off, and the drain leaks. I don't know how they managed to force the original pipes together, but there is a crack on the side of the original trap at the bottom, like it has been stressed. I was thinking an offset drain would give me some additional places where the threads might align on the same axis but I haven't found an offset drain that also has the popup feature. Does such a drain exist, popup + offset + overflow?

Offset grid drain 90 degree threaded tailpiece threads into the bottom of the pop-up. ! 1/4 slip joint waste arm will turn downward to the trap. The trap needs to be a drum trap to meet code.

Most offset drains are commercial not sure if you could find a manual drain that would be pressed down with your finger to operate, that would screw into the offset drain. Otherwise what your asking is kind of contradictory. A popup operates from the tail piece and your tail piece doesn't really exist with a90 right on the drain.

If you take a picture and share it there might be a better way your not seeing, but we might.
