Missing ARP Head Bolt Washer Reuse Stock OEM?

Hey everyone I am halfway through a head gasket job on my 1990 Base Supra. I am using a OEM head gasket and ARP head bolts however ARP shipped me 14 bolts and 13 washers. I am going to try and source a replacement locally today and need the car on the road this weekend. If I can't find one has anyone been in a similar situation and reused the stock washers? My concerns are that they wont be able to properly distribute the torque load as the chamfer on the washer is not exactly the same and designed to work at 58ft. lbs rather than ~85ft. lbs that I will be running. Any information ASAP is great.
