An extra 10mm spacer on a 1-1/8" steel steerer? Don't worry about it! Think of it this way, it doesn't really matter whether you raise the stem 5mm on the steering tube or use a steeper/longer stem. As long as the handlebars end up in the same position, all of the max torques on the steerer (at the headset) will be the same.
