Should be ok? or too dangerous?
I need to adjust headlight vertical aim control sensor which is attached to front axel, however I don't have ramps or other tools but stock jack. I'll remove front passanger side wheel, and jack it up so I can go under the vehicle. will stock jack hold high enough? or is it too dangerous to do it?  I know it's warranty issue, but it happened during aftermarket spring swapping job. So, installer will fix this problem but not able to do it untill next Tue. I can't drive at night cuz my headlights move up and down like crazy.

I would be very careful crawling under any car with the factory jack. A decent hydraulic jack and 4 jack stands isn't that expensive and it could save your life.

As you can see the answer was pretty much no. I haven't used a factory jack, ah, ever.

Def don't get under a car with just a jack- of any kind. Jackstands are a MUST.
