Is it possible to adjust the Fender Strat vintage noiseless pole heights to match the radius of the fretboard (in my case 9.5")?

Possible or not, why?

(My question is without any sarcasm - fiddling with pickups is always risky.)

This.
You can TRY to gently push the pole pieces, but it carries a risk of breaking the hair-fine wires.
I've heard that the Noiseless are particularly prone to damage, with some generations being damaged even by removing the covers.

Diddling of this type is akin to whistling past the grave yard.
