Some inspectors would write you up for that, because, they will say, you are supposed to maintain your power at the licensed level as close as reasonably possible. They allow you the 5% tolerance to account for things like power line voltage variations and component value drifting, and not for cheating.

 And there is precedent for exactly that.

 Actually, the FIM would not know for sure.
 The field difference is too small.
