I have an early 1960s BSR UA14 changer in one of my console stereos (tracking weight about 5 grams) i fitted a new stylus to its original TC8 cartridge and then played the first 10 seconds of a crappy brand new 12" dance mix on it for like 30 times then played it on my "proper" stereo system

It didn't suffer any noticeable wear at all

After this, i'm now playing anything on that old BSR changer, even my most treasured vinyls like my brand new Bruce Springsteen "seeger sessions" album.
I actually prefer the sound of that old tube console over my late 70s Pioneer/Sansui stereo system

Old changers with stereo cartridges are perfectly safe as long as you replace the sapphire stylus every 30 hours or so
