You have another way out. By my calculation, that drive is partitioned in DOS compatibility mode, which leaves the remainder of the MBR track unused. Running fdisk in expert mode ("x" command), you can move the partition's beginning of data ("b" command) from sector 63 back to sector 56. That will give you the needed 4K alignment and a partition that is no smaller than what it was before.
Right idea, not the right procedure. You'll need to turn off DOS compatibility mode, then create the partition, and then go into expert mode and move the beginning of data from sector 1 to sector 56.
