By radically changing your mount design you could lower the scope to the point where the the mirror section will just skim above the ground.
By the looks of your pictures when at zenith, the bottom of the toa is about 150 -200 mm above the ground. Lowering the ota by that much probably is not enough though.
The design I’ve used allows the ota to swing through the circular base and lowers the height of the whole ota. Not an insignificant amount of re-work for you.
