One front wheel points a little out ward when the other is facing straight ahead, causes Jeep to pull to passenger side.
Can I just undo the tie rod end from the tie rod and screw it in a few turns?
Note, this is not a problem an alignment will fix, evidently they don't mess with the TRE's on alignments.

Ha, what I mean is I just had an alignment done at Firestone and the wheel is still **** eye'd, they don't want to break loose the TRE to screw it in, I guess it's too much work.

You paid for an alignment? Then they owe you a correct alignment. Im an ase certified alignment tech. Take it back and tell them to do the job you paid for. If they dont call corporate.

Toe is actually the last thing you set, I'm also an ase alignment tech.
And also as a Firestone employee I agree with everyone here, go back and have them so it. I do it all the time. Especially on solid axle vehicle where you can only set total toe.

I would definitely take it back and have them fix it and if they say they can't. Demand a refund since they never completed the job in the first place. Even if they do take care of it I would still demand some kind of a discount for you aggravation for having to deal with a moron that has no idea what they are doing. Good Luck! Let us know how thing go.
