Magnetic declination and deviation are already trained concepts in nautical navigation. Don't see why they couldn't be used with aeroplanes as well. Bit more calculating, but not really very big deal.

They already are; every private pilot is trained on magnetic variation and deviation as well as magnetic dip (turning) and acceleration errors.
