There are some builders that use a wider saddle with individual "notches" for each string. As Ned says, sometimes the empirical way is the best.
That won't necessarily work, however, if you use a "compound" radius.
There may be some players, that play near the bridge, that play so hard, that they possibly actually get lateral movement of the plain strings, since they're on a "slope", and having an individual "step" can help alleviate that a little bit, but that's an exception.
