I don't want to have to buy new glasses either. Your close-up reveals that the left lower half square is 1/8" or less away from the center of the pinwheel.
This is not a do-over. If you had cut off the point of that unit, then I would agree
with a little seam ripping, but you are being too hard on yourself.
Is this a quilt that you are submitting for a prize??

In my class I learned to pin either side of the intersection before sewing....not pinning across the intersection. If the corners aren't spot on, then I take out a few stitches on each side after figuring which area was off and pin again before sewing that area. Another thing to consider: The edge of you blocks should not be trimmed, there should be a 1/4" border for joining so you do not lose the points.
