By slackening the head angle with and angleset you'd actually be lowering the front end a bit, and I think that would exacerbate some of the quirks Andrew highlited with this bike; The STA would get steeper, the ETT would get shorter, reach would get longer. _Oops, I missed the 'with longer forks' bit, that would preserve geo for the most part (aside from HTA), and could be a great option_
I'm not sure if it's possible with this bike, but I think a better option would be offset shock bushings which would slacken both HTA and STA, lengthen the ETT , and shorten reach allowing for a 50 or 60mm stem.
