Can a frozen strut damage my car? 200 1987

My right front strut must of gotten some moisture inside it. Whenever the temperature drops into the teens it freezes up. My rear KYB shocks are only a year old and even they are rather stiff. The only real "bounce" I can get if from the left strut. The struts are old. They were in the car when I got it 5+ years ago and were seeming to work fine up until now. Should I just let it go until the spring when I have time to fix it; or could this do some serious suspension damage. I figured about 17-20 degrees and it loosens up, but it's been below zero every night and I park outside. I may have several more weeks of this really cold weather.
Any suggestions other than heating them up.
Ben
