I built a three point leveling base for my GSO 12" Dob and it works just fine in my sloped backyard (which is about 10 degrees). I use small squares of ply to prevent the screw down feet from sinking into the yard, and on the slopng concrete driveway its fine on it's own ( but it has rubber feet on the screw down legs). You can buy wooden door wedges at Bunnings and they look like they could do 20 degrees and have rubber on the bottom. You might need a ground board staked into the ground to keep it all from moving. You could also take a shovel and 'create' a level spot in the yard, I do this all the time with my campertrailer.
