the d is closer to the e than the a and can be tuned to an e more easlily but it will sound funny. I suggest practicing around it. |

I would say temporarily block it with a small block, battery, or something.
A different Gauge string will still require adjustments in the back, etc. (different tension)
so to save yourself from tune, adjust, repeat multiple times,Put a temporary block under the bridge.
It's not double locking trem? |

Ooooooooh, I just realized you said your high E... that changes things. I'd just adjust the springs if i were you. |

i can do that.less tension on the springs,because of higher string tension correct? |

Well, if you tighten up the springs you can still have the tension you need with out the other string. |

maybe you should just go out and buy a new pack of strings.
you will create unnecesarry tension not only to the bridge but to the neck of your guitar,you can damage it due to the weight of the string |
