It seems USB sticks are not supported.
As mentioned on Xbox forum, on the game case there's a warning:
NOTE: Xbox 360 Hard Drive is required. USB Storage is not supported.
Also, official Xbox 360 game page on the second page of Overview states:
Hard drive required
There's a post on official Bungie forum as well:
You cannot run Destiny off of external flash drives/hard drives - regardless of storage space, it must be an officially supported hard drive from the console manufacturer.
So your best bet seems to buy an Xbox HDD. That prerequisite is most likely because of Destiny being online-only game with periodic updates, so it requires both good transfer speed and disk space (update before Dark Below was over 2GB for example).
