I don't think so.

If you want to limit access to unix sockets created by nginx, most
trivial solution would be to create them in a directory with
appropriate permissions.

The umask is set to 0 for nginx to be able to control permissions
when explicitly configured (for example when saving files using
proxy_store, http://nginx.org/r/proxy_store_access).
