I would just apply for a replacement social security card.
I almost screwed this up when I went in to replace my DL with a RealID compliant one. I had grabbed my W2 as proof of SSN, then in doing a last-minute review of docs, noticed both the mailed and the downloadable copies from my employer masked most of the SSN. (Which is a good thing; I can recall in college that profs posted grades outside their offices, with the students listed by SSN... no chance of ID theft there, eh?)
Fortunately, I had to get a replacement Social Security card several years ago for work and still have it in the safe. It's a shame they won't just accept at least 2 other RealID-compliant IDs, like my passport and HSPD-12 PIV card and instead require SSN; that would have made it far easier since I have those handy already.
