Unfortunately it is only possible to do 90° rotations this way. The only
thing I can make for you is an easier conversion to a draw object but in
my opinion the best thing to do in your case is to adjust the angle in
an external tool like GIMP for example. To have such an tool built-in is
also a good idea - but not so trivial to make.

Title:
  [Upstream] Wishlist: Add rotation of images to writer

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  In Progress
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Unknown
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Currently when a picture is imported, it is impossible to rotate it.
  This makes the task of importing images/graphs into OpenOffice
  unneccessarily difficult and complex. Since OpenOffice already has a
  gazillion of options about images, it's quite amazing that it cannot
  rotate them.

  WORKAROUND: Use WriterRotationTool
