Stripped Wheel bolt...ok to drive?

Hello all, I carelessly stripped the bolt on a 1" spacer and I am wondering if it is okay to drive on 4 tightened bolt for 3 more days? Will it cause damage to wheels or rotors? Will it come loose? I will be able to replace it on saturday. Thanks in advance ppl.

If you're just doing standard driving, you should be fine. Don't floor it and please, try to avoid highways and interstates as much as possible.

BTW, nice car. Don't mess it up.

i will never hear the end of it for saying this, but i'll be honest... I've been driving on 4 bolts on one tire for about 10k, 2 more for around 7k, and the last one for around 700 miles now... i rip the **** out of my car and never had an issue... HOWEVER I do not have spacers, these are the standard lugs with nothing else.... you will be fine.. just recuse yourself from any hard launches and i dont see any issue.
