Your specific intonation problems aren't going to go away if you adjust the truss rod.
The problem most likely lies in the string length being incorrect on the affected string(s).
Usually this is caused by damaged or leaning saddles, and is corrected by adjusting the saddle to correct the fault. Your saddle shouldn't be fixed, as it sits in a groove and should not be glued in. If you notice your saddle is leaning, worn down or otherwise not properly fixed in position, you can repair it or buy a replacement saddle.

Here's an informative resource that may help you out:
