EITHER dig a new hole, or use a  pier pin base. The preferable is the 
pier pin base, but does take more care  up to the first set of guys.  The 
other is to dig a new  hole.

The rotation is out of spec and modifications are usually  inadvisable.

 
If the tower in  question were either R-25, R-45-, R-55, the fix could be 
fairly simple it seems. 
There are readily  available base plates for the above towers, and beacon 
plates for the  same.
One could simply mate  the two together, drilling new holes to join them 
together to allow for the  correction factor.
Maybe even a 'home made' plate with leg pegs welded in place by a competent 
 source, painted/galvanized would be a far easier job than the other  
solutions.
Good luck and let us know the final decision.
