[Warhammer 40K] Only chance for mankind without an Deus Ex Machina?

I'm fascinated with the lore of the Warhammer 40K Universe, but I don't see any hope for humanity to redeem itself.. hell, even to survive seems impossible in the "The End Times". The winner of the Ocatarius War will crush Terra without a doubt in my mind. 

So..

Could the Imperium survive, if they just pull ALL their resources back to fortify their position in the Segmentum Solar? For instance, evacuate most worlds and relocate them in said segmentum, give every man and woman a lasgun and rudimentary training. And more important, stop defending worlds at the other edge of the galaxy, to strengthen the "borders" around the Segmentum Solar.

Would it be possible for the Imperium to survive the next 10.000 years?

The Imperium needs all those thousands of planets for resources. The other problem here is heresy. Its mans right to dominate the Universe, its what the Emperor wants and anything contradictory gets you a death sentence.
