I'd drive it home with out the WD part hooked up. WIth out thinking about it. You are wasting MORE time and energy worrying about this than getting the trailer home! As noted, it came to your dealer with out a WD hooked up, much less a sway system. Just like your 5w, if your trailer will not tow straight with out all these bars, you have an unsafe trailer being towed. I tow without bars, then hook the bars up as an added safety item.
There is NO law, liability etc to make someone tow with wd/anti sway bars. It may be highly recommended, but it is NOT a law or a requirement!
I towed my old TT some 300 miles home one time, when my WD bars literally fell off, less than a qtr of the way thru the trip! I had NO white knuckles, no worries, including the 30-40 mph side winds thru the columbia river gorge! If things are balanced correctly, your axels are not V'd, you are not loaded too much to one side. the trailer SHOULD pull straight. If not. return it! and have the issue fixed, especially if it is an alignment issue, ie V'd axels!
