I don't see an issue as so long as you don't crank down on the drainbolt making the re use of the crush washer usless. Most recommend changing as a safety precaution and its up to each ones choice to be safe or take a chance that it'll leak.

The crush washers are a standard NAPA parts store part. A whole box of 12 cost next to nothing.
