i want to make the car's steering slightly less sensitive and my impression after reading some of the reply here is that i should use a 0 or 5 degree suspension arm mount instead of the 10degree one to decrease the caster... or i completely wrong??
not completely. Changing the reactive caster blocks and changing the caster are two different things. With 10 degree blocks the caster decreases as the suspension compresses, making turn-in progressively harder. With 0 degree blocks the caster does not change as the suspension compresses so this makes the steering feel less sensitive.
What you are adjusting with the white shims is the static, or un-compressed caster.
