How to control NavigationView margin between menu items

Question

I have a navigation drawer with many items so the user needs to scroll up and down in order to see all the items.

I would like to reduce the margins between individual menu items, so that all items fit within a standard screen with no need to scroll.

Is there a way to control the margins in between the menu items?

<dimen tools:override="true" name="design_navigation_separator_vertical_padding">1dp</dimen>
