Ideally you DO need to change it. For a short, on-road jaunt I wouldn't worry about the skid.
If you want take a piece of cheap, clear hardware store hose and 'suck-out' the front axle. It's not ideal but it would buy you a little time to strategize about getting the plug out and order a replacement.
Good luck! That's a PIA, I hate it for you...

Noticeable improvement on the road test I just finished even though I just have two of them done.
I would have changed it earlier, but I just got it April with 95k on the clock. It looked to me like the rear had been changed at least once and the transfer case probably not at all or possibly 50k or so ago based on the color - and I know that's a pure guess.
I've got an oil sucker that I use on the boat that might work if there's enough room to get it to the bottom of the housing.
