This is a fact. If it is not significant, leave it alone. Most bike shops don't have anybody good at building wheels and a radial fix is not the best thing to start on if you've never trued a wheel before.

A mm or so is fine. It's far more likely you will make the tension uneven which will just lead to the wheel getting out of true more frequently as time passes.
