Florian, I agree with Steve. If your Z-axis movement is not perpendicular to the XY plane you must fix this. The same for spindel alignment, that should also be perpendicular to the XY plane.
Is this a home built machine? Any chance of changing it such that you can get rid of the misasalignment? That will certainly save you a lot of problems later on. Any chance of showing (larger) photos of your machine - maybe some of us have some good ideas. But bear in mind, it is only my third machine that will allow me to do the alignment in a very easy way without special tools (and I am currently building my second one ...)
