Leaving the locknut off headset

I simply do not have enough threads on my steerer tube to put the locknut on. Am i going to die? The worst thing I can see happening is that the top race could come loose and grime could get into the bearings. I have caged bearings so i am not worried about losing them. Should I just keep an eye on my headset or mill the frame, or get some tube added to the fork? I would like to leave it as-is as long as there is no signifcant problem with what im doing. This is on my beater bike.
