Zonkor,
You are making a problem out of nothing! You either...a) Measure which radial you want from the VOR rose, and then set that radial and fly it by keeping the needle centred or b) Measure from the chart the TRUE ground track you want, then calculate in Variation, Deviation and wind correction to give you a MAGNETIC heading to fly from the VOR and ignore the VOR radials completely.
a) is easier, so that is what I would do
Incidentally if you put your protractor on the VOR rose then each degree is 1 radial and hence it is just as easy to read as the true ground track from the chart references....
Of course these days it is even easier. Direct Enter enter, put the aircraft heading marker on the magenta and keep it there
