It's your car. You aren't hurting anything. Have at it.
As mav1178 said there was Still sludge after his first differential change. Yes there will be more after the first - yes it should be less sludge on the magnet than the first.

By your logic, it would be acceptable to change your oil every 1000 miles since it will just get dirty...

Yes it can work, but it's just a waste of money and resources.

What you're saying is that it is Impractical not Illogical.

If you want to be Practical and Logical you can just drain the relatively virgin oil after 5k miles into a clean oil pan, clean the drain plug, and refill the differential with the same oil assuming it is just as good - which it should be.
