The limit screws once correctly set never need readjustment so generally you'll be better off if you leave those alone.
Frankly, if the only thing wrong with your shifting is that you can't access the smallest rear cog when you're in the smallest front chainring, I'd say that you are far more likely to make it worse than better. Why would you want that gear anyway? In addition to the cross chaining thing, that same ratio can be obtained by some other combination anyway.
