Bad plan. In case a dozen others haven't already told you this:
Once you fail a medical, or EVEN withdraw from completing it once initiated, you can NOT ever fly as a pilot (sport pilot or otherwise) without passing it.
Given what you said, unless you're damn near 100% confident you'll pass that aeromedical class-3, I'd say don't take it.
There are a number of services of aeromedical examiner-types that will analyze your situation and tell you whether in their opinion you'd be a slam dunk to pass, questionable, or a certain rejection.
These folks/doctors (see link below) will give you by email, phone, or other ways a low cost consultation about issues for passing (confidential if you wish) before taking a medical or after being denied regarding appeals etc.
I believe AOPA offers a similar consultation for free if you're an AOPA member.

When you say "go LSA" I'm sure what you mean is "go for the Sport Pilot license."
