If that does not exist I am not going to try to jimmy anything up, I

Around here at the big-box places I see adapter plugs that plug into a
220 *range* socket and give you a grounded 120 V socket. They are meant
for people converting to gas stoves from electric. They do seem to bear
the certification authorities' logos, to my mild surprise.

Dryer plugs are slightly different (neutral blade is L-shaped) and I
haven't noticed such a device for them, but I haven't looked.

For sure you'd want to have a four-prong circuit (separate ground and
neutral) to make anything of it.
