Consider the following:
Even if I…
Even should I…
These all mean the same thing, right? What about
Even if I should…
Does that have the same meaning?
"If you should ever," is grammatically correct, so shouldn't, "Even if I should" also be grammatically correct?

Let's break these apart.
Even is being used as an adverb in all three cases, taking the second meaning in the Wiktionary listing:
So it is saying that "X" is one of the best options I have.
Numbers 2 and 3 are the same construction, where should is being used as an auxiliary verb to form the future subjunctive. This indicates that X is something I am only hypothetically interested in doing, just for the sake of argument. The indicative mood of number 1, by contrast, suggests that X is something I am actually interested in doing. However, in a conditional clause like this one, the difference between actual and hypothetical is quite small.
Edit: number 3 could possibly use a different meaning of should, that of obligation. In this case X is something I really ought to do, but instead of doing that I will do Y, something different. That's not really the meaning you are after, and might not be understood that way anyway, which is why I ignored it earlier.
In short, there is a fine distinction between the first example and the others, but for practical purposes you can treat them as the same.
