How do you compensate for that? If I were to change tire diameter OR rear gearing to make one of them more accurate, the other one would then be even farther "off"...

If the low odometer reading isn't caused by a slipping gear (very common) first try to check/repair whatever is causing the odometer error. Once the odometer is fixed, the speedometer needle/spring can perhaps be adjusted to bring that closer to accurate.
