I was also reliving my Statics class (not statistics) and can't see how a downward force across all 4 saddles could ever cause the center two to rise or the outer 2 to sink.
I think the one on my black Casady has a bit of radius on the bottom. I don't think it is affecting the A and D string heights.
If yours is a problem, it wouldn't cost much to get another 3 point. There's probably somebody here or in the SG/EB with extras in their parts collection.

Magic. There is al lot about Thunderbirds that is pure magic.
A nice lady! Lol, yes. Yes indeed...
My fourth grade teacher made me slightly delirious. Mrs Schwartz had calves, and everything else, that made me feel funny, in that most mysterious and disruptive kind of way. Of course it becomes a preoccupation from then on...
Thank you, Mrs Schwartz. I still love you.
DIG!Well, it's white - def not a J

There appear to be four listings for the exact same bass, all with different prices. There's some weird reselling thing that seems to go on in Japan like that.

A Gibson 3 point should have some curve to it, like this.......
I can't recall if Epi's do, or not as I don't have one that uses a 3 point, IIRC the Allparts version doe not have a curve to it.
Cat approved too!

Sweet, but man that price tag is right up there. From my local Craig's List.

I liken them to Fender Twins and Bassman 4x10s on guitar. They sound damn flipping good when opened way up. But who the hell needs to open them way up? Honestly, at this point, even if I was doing arenas I wouldn't have one. 2x12 is MORE than enough for anything I do nowadays. And anything I would need more for, has full PA support. And that array with the cardioid sub setup has a hell of a lot more punch and throw than any amp.
To be fair, all original anything with the case from '67 is gonna be hard to get for less than that. I don't know that it's worth that much, but it is what it is.

I never have full PA support, but even so, my 250 watt Carvin combo with an extension cabinet is nearly always plenty. I have ACC stacks because I have had them a lot time, know how they work, and like them for what they are. The original is my practice amp (!!!!) and the Grexa reissue generally gets hauled out once or twice a year these days. Ten years ago, I hauled one or the other around about twice a month. I probably still would, except there's not much reason to. I may haul out the Grexa reissue later this month, just to give it some exercise, not because I need that kind of horsepower.
I played through an SVT/810 at a jam on Canada Day. It was a ridiculous amount of overkill, but it sure did sound nice with my Gold Casady! That said, my PF50T through that same cab would have sounded just as good.
I never had that class, but just seems highly unlikely. Seems to defy physics. Downward seems in the realm of possibility given design characteristics and material, but not the other way around. But I may have misunderstood what was said to be happening, but I understood it they way you described. Made that way as V said.
