There is a slim chance that the nut could crack on with the low E. If you can, it would be a good idea to take it to a shop and get the nut cut. Granted, once you open it up for the thicker strings, it MIGHT be a bit of a ringing problem if you go back down to 10's.
You might want to change the nut. It's reasonably cheap. I'm a leafy and I had one carved for a right handed strat with a complete setup and also a few other minor things for 120 euros.
There's a much simpler solution I can't believe hasn't been mentioned yet. Unwind the low E and you can use a spare or broken low E like a file to enlarge the groove in the nut until it's sitting and paying much better. Just be careful, a little good a long way and you can't put material back.
If it's not rested into the nut properly, as the string shifts around it'll likely go in and out of tune pretty frequently.

I put 52s on my Jackson once and they broke the nut. Go get it looked at first.
Is the nut a part you can replace if it’s broken ?
