spacers with broken stud?

I have these spacers:


When I took off my driver side front wheel one of the lugs was stripped and I broke off one of the 5 studs on the hub. I put the spacer on with only 4 lugs since the 5th stud is broken. All 4 are correctly torqued in at 80ft/lbs and the wheel is attached to the spacer with all 5 lugs. Is this safe to drive on for a week or two until I get a new stud put in?

You're ok to drive on 4 studs but take it easy until you replace it.
