I am hearing that people are ignoring 1 inch margin guidance in resume
If after setting 1 inch margin from all 4 sides with a 10 size bullet font, ur resume can fit in one page
U achieved un-achievable and definitely should do 1 inch and submit.
If not, congratulations you come in 98% applicants that chucked it or didn’t adhere 100% to it.

I'd actually be concerned if you are able to fit all they expect you to fit with all these constraints

Does doing 0.25 from all sides count?
0.25*4=1 inch margin (given not specified which side)
