Changing the current distribution and changing the effective height are one
and the same thing.

I can lower my angle of maximum radiation by raising the height of
my low 75m dipole. Is there a way for me to accomplish the same thing
by changing the current distribution?

Could be. Antennas are reciprocal. A common definition of "effective
height" for receiving antennas is simply the ratio of volts out of the
antenna versus the field volts per meter acting upon the antenna.
Constants provide effective height in feet, meters, or in the units of
your choice.
