If not, you'd be relying on agent and supervisor discretion, which is basically a nonstarter. They don't know and could care less about what happens with one lounge and the impact on passengers.

Furthermore, even if there was such a waiver, you'd almost certainly need PZ on your desired new routing to stay in J.
