Your camera is probably fine. Many people with the AF issue would be very happy if their D800 was off as little as yours. Ming Thein had declared his D800E successfully fixed after it came back from the service center even though he states that it is still very slightly off.

I of course read all about the focusing issue while I waited for my D800 to arrive. When it arrived, I searched and found a test target and procedure and I tested it. I found some slight differences. Center was dead on with one lens and just a little off with another. The left AF point was off by the chart but you had to really look, at 45 degrees to the chart, the AF point was .7cm off. The right was pretty much on. Nothing that I would think would impact a real world situation for me. But still I wondered. then I read some more here and found some posts saying "if you have a problem it will be REALLY obvious.". So, apparently mine is not.

I wonder how many people with issues realize this?
