I have a car as low as an Aventador, without a front-axle lift, and a similarly bad approach angle.
You don't take steep inclines head on. Period. You take them at an oblique angle, and get the closest wheel up first. It takes a few more seconds, but you don't scrape.
I've gone up into entrances without issue where I've seen stock Toyota Camrys (which have nearly 2 inches more ground clearance and a much better approach angle) scrape. Take your time and it's a non-issue. My car has a sacrificial portion of the front splitter that's cheap to replace if I were to scrape it, but it's so easy to not scrape it it'll be a long time (decade plus?) before I need to.
