Top Strut Nut Removal Question Again 200

Got my struts done. Another, possibly lame, question. With the car on the ground, can I remove the 24mm center nut completely and put a better washer under it? Any problem or danger doing this? The washers that were previously installed on the old struts had a center hole a bit too big, and they torqued down a little off center. As an afterthought, I found some washers that would fit perfectly and ride better on the inner race of the bearing. I should have used them the first time, but I just used what the previous guy had used. Thanks for the help.
