I have done that and no more inside edge wear.
In our case the wear was on the tire's outside edge and only on the one (passenger side) tire. And that wheel had never come off for bearing repack or brakes or anything. The trailer was purchased new just 6 months earlier.

I guess by "pre-load" the bearings you mean fill them with grease? Will be re-packing them sometime soon so will be careful there.
