If the blank is narrow use a known square additional blank to give you something to register against the cross cut fence with.
Just try to use roughly the same position on the rip fence as the stop.
Another way I have thought of to get around this issue is to make a point stop in the form of a round bar, either attached to the face of the rip fence and which can be removed or in place of the rip fence. This takes away the toe out issue entirely on the rip fence.
