Technically, no, but you can take the risk. the reason why tire shops wont repair a tire with an object sticking 1 inch from the side is because the patch wont stay on properly since its kind of round in that area.

Its risking a blowout on the road, but its up to you.

dump the tire... sidewall will flex a lot when cornering... worse time to have a catastrophic failure, don't you think?
