It depends on the importance of the glue joint in question, if it is a
mission critical joint, I always use a fresh tube. I'll still keep the
tube in hopes I can coax a drop out of it for common tasks though.

This sounds almost exactly like my plan!

If it's important, I open a new sacrificial glue.
If it's just some toy, I try the old stuff which invariably is all dried
up.

As a side note, if you have an old tube that doesn't come out of the
nozzle, you can cut open the tube (carefully) and spill out the contents
onto a plastic saucer, then dip a toothpick into the puddle to use as an
applicator.

This obviously completely kills off the tube, but it's better than
tossing the tube like most everyone else does.
