If you have to wait 10 minutes for dedicated software program's to help you drift align for each axis then don't bother with them. Get as close as you can using manual hairy eyeball methods and remember that auto guiding will deal with the rest.

Be pragmatic. Meridian and celestial pole for drift alignment, don't worry about being "exactly" 30 degrees, go higher of you need to but provided you can still get north/east stars you will be fine. You are autoguiding.....for tweaks, use the functions available in your preferred guiding software such as phd or whatever else exists.
