If you don't drive it ever again, it doesn't need to be serviced. Seriously, being the attachment point for the load bearing strut in the front suspension, it is a life safety issue.

OK, bigger picture seen..The nut on top of the strut is tight, when you steer the motion is in the upper strut mount, tearing it up, because the strut piston cannot rotate in the strut body, Correct? If so, its new strut time, including a new upper mount, NOW. I don't think no motion necessarily equates to no pressure.
