Can I just pull the mixture back until it runs rough and the push it back in until it smooths out.
Yes. Richen only enough for smooth running, no more. At the low power setting you mention, no matter what you do with the red knob, you cannot cause damage. A lean engine is a clean engine, keep it that way.
