You may not need to make a decision ; shops will refuse to put in a plug if they think it is a problem.

That one looks too close to the sidewall. Bring $$ and replace. Reference Here
Apparently that tire repair guidance originates from the guidelines set by the USTMA (U.S. Tire Manufacturer Assoc.) Now obviously that reference is designed to help sell tires, but its pretty safe, sound guidance.

1) Its possible that if the screw is really short, it hasn't yet pierced to the inside. Pull it out, check pressure and move on. 2) Its possible that the screw is long, and its plugging its own hole. Remove it and pssssst, air bleeds down to zero. 3) Worst case is you have to change a flat tire at the worst possible time, while wearing your best clothes. 4) driving on flat tire is really a bad idea. It ruins the rim and that is big $$. Best is to get this fixed.. do what the rest of us do. Change to the spare now, wait for payday, buy a new tire. :^)
