Default Thermostat for electric baseboard heat

I have electric baseboard heat in one room with a thermostat on the
wall but the thermostat appears to be 15 degrees F off! If I set it
for 55, the room ends up 70. Is it reasonably likely that I can pull
off the knob and move it so the little pointer points to the real
temperature or is it likely I have to replace the thermostat? Or is
there some other calibration procedure I can follow?
