I betcha you'll have a hell of a time trying to start your lug bolts if your rotor is:
-1- not staying in place trying to fall of
-2- staying in place, but rotating as you rotate the wheel making it quite an interesting affair.
I think the above 2 should make it worthwhile to put that screw back in. As I mentioned use antiseize and hand tighten it only.

If its just hand tightened it should be purdy easy to loosen it by hand as well with the 5mm allen wrench.
