Is there a way to cheat a floor drain? The pipe stub out is not quite veritcally level.. Translates to about 1/8 inch off level for the floor drain.

You mean plumb?
Is it exposed so you could grind it level?
Yes, I mean plumb.
If there's enough of a stub (and this is plastic), heat it with a torch and bend it.
If you're talking about a FD with a top that's about 9" across having one side 1/8" higher than the other, no big deal. You can cheat it that much with no worries. Either glue it (very liberally) or join it with a no-hub coupling. Both are capable of being deflected as much as you need in this case.
Actually it is a Kerdi shower drain that is being formed in concrete slab. I could be a little more specific I suppose.
