How will an incorrect astigmatism axis affect my vision?

I'm trying to get a pair of coloured contacts and am looking into toric lenses as I have astigmatism in both eyes. The astigmatism axis for my eyes are 160 (left) and 20 (right) but the toric lenses only manufacture lenses with axis 0, 90 or 180.

My question is can I still get the contact lenses? How will an incorrect axis affect my vision? Is there any other way to correct it?

If it helps my prescription is
Right: sph (-5.75) cyl (-1.25) AX 20
Left: sph (-5.75) cyl (-0.75) AX 160
