A cheap way to see if the chain angle change is worth it, is to install shims on the drive side to allow the BB to move to the right. If it works then you can get the correct BB length.
I had that same thought, but I am not sure if you swap axles on Keo pedals. I found instructions issued by Look for replacing defective spindles. The spindle has a thread on it that fastens to the pedal body and I think the thread is left or right on each side just like the threads that go into the crank so I don't think you can swap them.
