If you can get hold of a stlyus then go for it, however as already mentioned originals are like rocking horse DO DO.
The question you have to ask yourself if staying with your current stylus is "can i risk my beuatiful vinyl"? If the answer is yes then stay as you are as you already have a nice setup. If the answer is no, do not play a single album until you have changed it. Dont forget the immense pressure that a diamond exerts on the surface of the record. Every time the needle is in a groove and the rocord is spinning, the vinyl actually melts under the pressure for an instant. Thus if you have a badly set up/damaged stylus, even 1 play of the record can cause major permanent damage (doom and gloom)
Personally i would not risk it and if you can find a stylus, for the sake of £30 or so, i would swap it. If you cant find a stylus, again personally, i would change cart.

Just the random musings of a fool
