Default How bad of an idea is this?

So i removed my diff today, stripped out one of the bolts, my friend at honda ordered me another one and it'll be here friday. I'm putting the diff back in tomorrow(thursday). Would it be safe to drive(lightly) for one day with only 5 bolts? or i could put the bad one in also just not so tight. ORRR should i just not drive it at all?

THANKSS!

I went to the local hardware store and bought a grade 8 bolt and nut that fit in there, worked for about a month until i changed it out, had no problems was only 2 bucks would be worth the piece of mind for me.

A nut? Did you use a small bolt or what? You do know I'm talking about the driveshaft to diff bolts and not the halfshafts right?
