You can certainly use the B or A string for your C, just color the string with a red permanent or paint marker. Since it’s your highest C, you probably won’t be playing it that often anyways, so this quick fix should do the trick.

Another tip- make sure you back out the tuning pin quite a bit before you re-string. This way it will line up with the other pins when you wind in the string and won’t throw off your regulation or cause extra stress on the string at the angle between the guide pin and tuning pin.
