Looking at the image, I'm not sure it is worth worrying about.
It is very possible that the nut has not been glued on evenly.
However, the nut can easily be removed (normally), but it could cause some damage to the headstock finish. I assume the multiscale nut fits like a G-style nut. So, it can be removed by giving it a gentle wack (away from the fretboard) with a hammer and a small block of wood. I would run a blade around the edge of the nut first so that there is less chance of damaging the finish. Once removed clean up the nut area (and the base of the nut) with a file or sandpaper and then glue the nut back in with wood glue (not CA glue apparently!)
Quite often I will remove the nut before I start work on the neck. Then there is no chance of getting finish on it, I can sand down the base if the string slots have a very high action, change to a bone nut etc. It is good to know how to remove a nut!
