Is there a modified lunge you can do that won't put pressure on the foot. My joint is 100% collapsed so any activity where my big toe has to bend/balance me doesn't work.

Can you even slowly lower yourself to do a lunge with your knee touching? I ask because if not there is a risk you can induce patellar tendinitis or patellar distinction by allowing the knee to slam into the ground uncontrolled. If you can lower yourself in a controlled manner then the knee on the ground is not a bad suggestion. If not, Bulgarian split squats might me a better alternative that will remove pressure from the great toe joint.0

How are Bulgarian split squats on the knees?0 -
Another option is do split squats with your back foot on an angled surface - like a thin piece of wood or a book placed on the edge of a step or small box. Eliminates flexing at the toes.0

I would add that you can add a blanket under your knee to avoid pain or discomfort.0
