Is this table level "enough"

I borrowed a good level last night, just to see if my table/slates have settled over the years. Pretty sure they have. Here's a map of the readings. I have no idea what the units are on this level, but I'll willing to bet you mechanics do.

From what I can tell, the left hand slate is not level with the other two, and the whole table is out of level thing (mostly on the vertical axis). Is this way out, or should it be fixed?

BTW, I did calibrate the level before I took these readings.

It is hard to see the bubble in some of the pics. I noticed my table starting to roll funny on one end because I am a moron and did not shim the slate correctly on one end, I was really surprised to see how bad it was and that I did not notice it before it got that far out of level. Machinists levels are very sensitive. Do you notice the balls rolling funny? If the table plays well I would leave it alone, if it was mine, unless you are recovering. You know what they say, "dont fix it if it aint broke".
