No you can NOT and don't ever assume that.  That's a mistake thinking
that.

Wait and schedule a downtime window for it.  That's the heart and soul
of linux.  That's playing in the devils den if it's a production
machine.

It's the same in one as the NSS libs on the machine.  They break then
you will have to install things by hand.  RPM and Yum will not work
period.

If the machine in question has like a Fencing Device (like a drac card )
with an IP addy that's public then maybe (that is card dependent).
