At this point, does it look like the SWR is low enough at that local minimum for me to start trimming the antenna to move it into the 6 meter band? #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
It's workable, hard to predict what will happen given that there's structure interaction. VSWR might even go down as frequency goes up.
Does the antenna material permit bending back on itself rather than cutting? (Cutting is fine, but trying various bends gives you more flexibility to make sense of what's happening and to experiment.)
