I understand your point @Ice-Man, but this has literally never happened. Common sense is also required when doing these things. If you see a burr, remove it. If you see it's stuck, check why. If it's wanting to eat into the scales, stop and check why.. Light taps, etc.
Another tip - A good way to check if the pin is gonna come out, is to jam a thin wedge of some sort between the tang and scales, wiggle the blade gently, see if it's getting any looser. 90% of the blades will release this way without much effort.
