The phase shift you are talking about is actually a time delay, and
amounts to the same amount of delay you would get by moving your
head about 1/16th of an inch off-center.  You can compensate
for it by moving one speaker (I'm not sure which) about 1/8th of an
inch in front of the other one.  But unless you have your head clamped
in a rigid position for listening, you'll completely swamp this effect
by head movement.

Headphones might be another matter, but I'm sure some audiophile
concern will market spacers at some point...

Of course, all this ignores that a 12us delay is way below the level
of perception (as I'm sure rabbit!jj will remind you).
