I seriously doubt that lashings would be able to handle the loads. You would probably be better served to mount the spin pole on the mast in the normal fashion, using the pole to hold the tack of the A-sail forward of the headstay. Then run the tack line of the A-sail through a block mounted on your anchor roller or stem fitting. The tack line would take the loads in the normal fashion.
If you really need to get the A-sail out in front of the headstay, you could look around for an oversized spin pole to use in this manner. The PHRF hit for the oversized pole might be offset by the credit for using an A-sail, depending on which PHRF region you are in. If you are not racing, you don't need either a pole or a sprit. You actually want to use something like an ATN Tacker to control the tack of the A-sail and hold it on center near the headstay.
