I think you would be fine putting wheel bearing grease in it. White lithium might be fine as well. Leave about 20-30% empty to allow for a little expansion and movement. The steering might be a little stiff in the dead of winter, but it won't hurt the mechanism any.
Even with grease you will get some weeping out of the seal as the oil separates from the waxes. This is just a stop-gap measure until you fix it right.
