If yes, it could solve my problem, if not, the outer diameter of the G string would be roughly the same and the problem will remain ...

G and D are not tapered. The G has only one winding so nothing there to taper. The D is thin and the sound almost the same with or without taper if made with 2 windings so, we no longer taper the Ds.

You can groove the saddle deeper and raise it up as well. Do carefully as once cut, it is as it is.
