The bulb is actually spec'ed to handle 4.5v just fine. Your unit won't get fried. You do risk increased wear though, but if that was really a concern, you should probably run this at 1.5v. You will barely see the light, but I'm sure it'll last a billion hours.
I don't have mine in front of me right now, but I believe the peak spec was even higher than 4.5v. Your call. The option is given to you. RCR123A's at 3.7v are a bit harder to find than standard 3.0v CR123A's.
3.0v rechargeables are the hardest to find, but do exist.
