Shaving the tire consistent with the camber angle would place equal pressure across the entire tread which would allow the tire to wear evenly.

No, we're talking the same thing. Air pressure inside the tire equals the pressure against the ground. Your concept of more ground pressure due to the camber would only be correct if you had a solid tire. You don't, you have an inflated tire. It deforms to match the ground.
This is a simplistic view, as we aren't considering dynamics, only statics. However, the theory works. Your camber isn't what is causing the wear on the inner edge, as has been pointed out in other threads.
