googleapis-common throwing error in UUID dependency - node.js

Question

I'm trying to get a very basic oauth example to work in a node.js app with express and googleapis. Upon running the application it throws a TypeError inside the UUID dependency which is included with the googleapis-common module. I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point because I have not been able to find any additional information about this to allow me to resolve it myself.
Take a look at the screenshot below for the specifics:
Here it is in text if that makes things easier:
Exception has occurred: TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'name' of function 'function generateUUID(value, namespace, buf, offset) {
if (typeof value === 'string') {
value = strin...<omitted>... }'

The file this is being thrown in is called "v35.js".
My initial thought is that I must be missing some additional library that interprets the logic throwing the error differently. Eager to learn more about this and find a resolution.

Looks like this is how the uuid module works
node_modules/uuid/dist/v35.js
function _default(name, version, hashfunc) {
function generateUUID(value, namespace, buf, offset) {
...
} // Function#name is not settable on some platforms (#270)
try {
generateUUID.name = name; // eslint-disable-next-line no-empty
} catch (err) {} // For CommonJS default export support
...
Authors warn (comment on line 4), that name property may not be settable and bypass it with empty catch
