When you look at the source for Slider, HSlider's super class in the layoutTicks method there is an XOffset value which should be compensating for this. Annoyingly there's no way to extend this and fix this method as it's private. From what I can tell, short of ripping the code out and re-writing your own, there's not a lot you can do.
