I have my PC clock synchronised with a ntp server (ntpgmtaceb).
With ntpq -p, I see an offset of 6ms.
How can I be sure to have an offset < 1ms

Read the documentation CAREFULLY! I think that you will find that
"offset" is NOT the difference between your clock and the correct time!
There IS a number that does represent the difference between your clock
and the correct time but I have forgotten what it's called.
Sorry, but I don't see where offset is NOT the difference time between
my clock and the ntp server
Offset is the difference between the local clock and the estimated time
on the immediate upstream server. It includes the estimation error,
which in certain circumstances can have a large systematic component
(particularly if the round trip is not symmetric. Once ntpd has
stabilised, and assuming no perturbations (e.g. temperature jumps), the
non-systematic part of the error in the local clock should be
considerably smaller than the peak to peak offset. This is because ntpd
low pass filters the measurement noise.
And what is this number that does represent the difference between my
clock and the ntp server
That is not measurable, because, if you could measure it, you could set
the local clock with less jitter and again end up with a smaller, but
still not measurable, value.
