Perhaps you can go to the DMV again (a different office perhaps?) and just get the title transfered as is with the missing digit and making no mention of the problem? .
If the Vin hasn't been flagged and the transfer happens Ok, it may be easier to go back again later and have them correct something that's already registered to you? .
Maybe even take a pencil rubbing of the Vin w/ you so if they notice the mistaken missing digit you can act surprised and pull the rubbing out of your pocket and let them do whatever they want then? .
Good luck! .
