Well, you should take the D string off your banjo and use it to replace the guitar string. No one will care if it trashes the banjo, and it can't sound worse than it does already, can it?
By the way, if you're taking a 6th (low E) string of a guitar, and using it to replace the E (1st) string on a mandolin, you've got problems ID-ing strings of similar diameters, IMHO.
