"Dude" works for women. How else are you going to call a female person in her late twenties? "Woman" is way too formal for many settings, "girl" can imply that you think she's not mature, and "gal" is just... no.
If anyone has a better alternative, do tell. I'm not too pleased with "dude" either.

I mean, I don't think any of this is that important, and saying things like "the elevator has a 10 man capacity" is fine, but there is no reason not to try to be accurate when it costs little.
