shops are not going to do it if you are through your tread rubber and reached the core rubber.
They will not do it cuz if something happens and tire blows and you crash, you can sue the fvck out of them for mounting a bad tire on your car.
So you can either do it your self (good luck with that) or if you have a friend working at a tire shop or something that you can ask to do this for you.
In the future try to flip them before they get very obviously worn.

I say if you fixed the camber than just use the tires. Don't do any crazy driving and just look at them once a week to make sure they are not getting very dangerously bald.
If you see wires before your main tread hit's the wear bar.....change them.
Your ride most likely be loud and not going to have optimal handling, so take it easy.

woah..if i see wires in the tires then i would change them even though you tell me not too..lol.
Should i try to adjust my camber to 0 or positive with .1 toe?? cornering will suck haha. My current toe is .04
I'm having this car pulling to the right although i fixed the camber, so i'm guessing it's because of the bald tire...

you would know if you hit the core rubber. its a different texture of rubber than the outer tread rubber. its very thin and soft. camber isnt what kills tires,sure it plays a part but toe is what does the majority of damage. 0 or pos camber is going to make for some crappy cornering. what shop is doing your alignments?
