Following that tutorial and because I didn't want to update my firmware only to have relative numbers, I made a script to convert the output from Marlin to the relative numbers you need.
Script takes a file as parameter with G81 output, like that:

Recv:   0.16500  0.18463  0.19991  0.21083  0.21741  0.21963  0.21750
Recv:   0.16046  0.18181  0.20058  0.21676  0.23036  0.24138  0.24981
Recv:   0.15630  0.18067  0.20295  0.22315  0.24126  0.25727  0.27120
Recv:   0.15250  0.18120  0.20704  0.23000  0.25009  0.26731  0.28167
Recv:   0.14907  0.18342  0.21283  0.23731  0.25687  0.27150  0.28120
Recv:   0.14602  0.18730  0.22033  0.24509  0.26159  0.26984  0.26981
Recv:   0.14333  0.19287  0.22954  0.25333  0.26426  0.26231  0.24750

Then when you do:

$> ruby gen.rb output.txt

      Raw values:
      -0.07	-0.02	-0.01
      -0.08	0	0.05
      -0.09	0.02	0.02

      Degrees:
      50°CCW	14°CCW	7°CCW
      58°CCW	0	36°CW
      65°CCW	14°CW	14°CW

      Fractional Turns:
      1/10CCW	0CCW	0CCW
      1/5CCW	0	1/10CW
      1/5CCW	0CCW	0CCW

You get the proper output relative to the center. You also get the degrees and fractional turns from the correct position for each screw.
In the current example you should turn the upper left screw 50° counter clockwise.
You can also access the converter directly online by going to: https://pcboy.github.io/g81_relative/
