But, as other posters have mentioned, it can not hurt to try. Most likely all the AA lounges will take the paper. Most of the time when I go in an AA lounge they just look at the BP for status and do not even ask for the card.
Good luck, hope the other partners will bend a bit more for you.
AA lounges should never be a problem, as they can look up your current status online. Oneworld partner lounges are the only ones that should present any problem at all.
