If spark plug spec is .027inches and I use .026 will it make a difference?

No.
It will increase with use anyway.
What kind of car has a .027" inch gap anyway? Cars long ago used to be .035" and increased with the high energy ignition systems to .045" or more (mid 1970s and after).

You get a spark plug gauge that will widen the gap another .001 inch. If the plug is platinum or iridium, leave it alone.

No, if in a car engine. That's a very small gap. What engine is it, a model airplane? The bigger the gap, the higher spark voltage is needed.

A very small difference, yes, but measurable.

No that will be fine. In any case as the gap erodes in use it will match the recommended size.
