If the vor radial R-081 is unusable, can I still track towards it on the reciprocal?

Yes, as long as you are WEST of the VOR.

If you are EAST of the VOR then you are on the unusable radial and navigation accuracy will not be assured.
 
I think the answer to your question depends on why the radial is unusable. If an obstacle blocks signal on the 81 degree radial below x,000 feet, it won’t necessarily block the 261 radial’s signal.

Bottom line is what they ^ said.
