I doubt the extra current draw, if any, will damage other parts up or downstream of this 12AX7. However, the audio prolly will suffer.

Just get another 12AX7 (with as close, balanced triode sections as possible). Mark and leave that mis-balanced one in your stock. You maybe able to use it in gain sections where balance is not as issue. Such places, where one triode is doing one function and the other another or none-at-all.
