Would a simple solution be to "lie" about the runway direction by a few degrees: instead of runways 10 and 28, bump it up to 11 and 29 (or down if that's a smaller lie). DFW is apparently comfortable having numbers slightly off from the true direction, since it has 5 parallel runways, 17L, 17C, 17R, 18L, and 18R, all of which are at 175.4º.
