Oval chain ring help.

So through riding my fixed gear and riding hard daily, my chain ring has come to be an oval shape, I can tell because my chain is tight when my crank is in some spots and loose when in others. It just so inconveniently happens that where I do my skip stops and such is where the chain is loose. Is it possible to just unbolt my chain ring from the crank, rotate it as close to 90 degrees as I can, then reattach it to my crank? What I'm hoping to attain here is making my chain tight in a different spot, so it doesn't come off when I'm trying to skid or do a skip stop. I don't have the money to buy a new chain ring right now, so this will only be a temporary fix. Thanks in advance!
