Nope.

If the plug was originally wired +1 and -1 then that's what it needs to be.

The +2 and -2 posts are for bi-amped operation and are rarely used.

Your best bet would be to either try and find time to grab a replacement lead (or plug) or temporarily use a jack <-> jack lead (if your amp\cab has that option).

If the speakon is going to be junked anyway you could always solder the wire into the speakon rather than rely on the screw? heat from the screw access point, flood with solder, drop the wire in. Bit of a bodge but should work ok.
