Instead of eliminating cogs and mussing about with the cassette, I prefer to space my front chainring as inboard as possible, prioritizing the chainline for the lets say biggest 5 cogs on the cassette. This is where you spend most of your time climbing and pushing hard. The smallest cogs can have a poorer chainline as you don't put relatively many hard hours on them.
