Have you got a USB drive or thumbdrive or a SDcard USB adapter.
You can rsync (use -avx) the root to a large thumbdrive or usb disk and
use that to boot.
Just have to change UUID= in /boot/cmdline.txt to the UUID of the USB
drive and update (newdrive)/etc/fstab to reflect changes.

If an SDcard format it with 2 partitions like your current card and
rsync (-avx) the data to the new partitions. Then change UUID references
as above.
