Not gonna happen. To be honest, I think your best bet is to let this small number of miles expire.
If you think you'll have a use for those miles at a future date, you might want to prevent them from expiring by earning some miles through a car rental or an online purchase. And if you take a flight with Virgin in the future, you'll have a "headstart" on your next award.
