Are there visible/tangible dents on the dropouts from the washers that they are just falling back into? Could you flatten them out?
Are they forward-facing horizontal dropouts or rear-facing track-ends. If the latter, you might be able to put a chain-tug on to hold the axle back, or you could try wedging something between the tyre and seat-tube to hold the wheel back while you tighten the nuts.

No turn washers
