So for a bow that will only tune with a very high nocking point, one possible solution might be to back off the lower limb a little . . . . .

I go a good bit further with my tiller adjustments, as I describe in the thread pinned at the top of the forum. But whether you decide to go that far or not, then at the very least, your tiller should always be adjusted to measure the same at each end of the riser before any other tuning is ever done.

And i just tried letting off alittle on the top and it didnt do anything, and i tried putting alittle more on the bottom and it still didnt do anything.

A quarter inch off in axle to axle isn't anything to worry about. When it gets to about 3/4" to an inch, it needs adjustment.
If you've got your weight backed way off, it might take a full turn or more to get the tiller measurements to move. In fact, it sort of worries me when you say the draw weight is at minimum. Don't take any more off the top limb. I don't know how much more bolt you've got in that hole and it really gets exciting when you back a limb bolt clean out of the riser. [:-]
Make your adjustments with the bottom limb bolt. It will likely raise your draw weight a couple of pounds, but it's better than taking the bow to the shop to have it put back together.
