Edit Reason: Addition/clarification

Long story short I accidentally hit the end of a staple while face jointing some material the other night, and I had to offset my knives further to compensate for that since the line it left on the board was so thick. Am I offsetting them too much, though? I've heard that it's necessary to keep things pretty balanced, especially if something is rotating at high speeds, so am I offsetting them too much? I've got pics of both the nick and the position of the three knives below. Note how one is sticking out towards the rabbeting table about 1/8" and one is pushed probably 1/16" out the other side. Is this too much offsetting to be safe?
EDIT: I'm just gonna order a new set of knives and get these re-sharpened after the holidays. Still, I think it's a good thing to wonder about for future reference...how much offsetting is too much? Just want to get as much life out of each set of knives as possible between sharpenings.
