Without seeing it, it's hard to say! What does your farrier say? They would know if it was correctable with trimming and shoeing or not. At this point, the joints and bones that far down are pretty much what they will be but depending on how bad the deviation is, it can sometimes be corrected slightly so that the horse stands better without harming the joints. However, some deviations can't be fixed and you just have to work around them.

On the bright side, toeing out is much better than toeing in, and as long as its not severe, usually isn't going to cause problems.
