Default DIY to correct negative camber

2000 Accord SE, all stock. I notice the front passenger tire is wearing quicker on the inside and it's only the pass side. Is there a DIY with pictures to show how this can be corrected? I was thinking of making small, gradual changes until it's fixed: adjust, drive for a few weeks, then check again and adjust if necessary. I don't have any alignment tools just simple home mechanic set with jacks, stands, etc.

Get alignment, see how much you are out of spec, then buy appropriate adjustable camber arms, etc. Install, then get alignment.

Are you saying in stock form there's no way to adjust for camber? This is my daily driver, not a track vehicle, I prefer not having to install any adjustable camber arms.

No adjustment of camber is available.

Verify it is indeed a camber issue. Have an alignment check done.
Check that all fasteners in the suspension are correctly torqued and verify that no bushings are worn.
It could also be the signs of a worn wheel bearing, bent control arm, or bent knuckle.

$10 says your toe is out too far on that side causing the wear. Excessive toe out will cause accelerated tire wear MUCH faster than more negative camber.
