The plastic threads are probably stripped out, which in that case, no, as long as you dont pull on the cluster face too hard, it shouldnt harm anything. Just put pressure pulling down on that area as close to the screw as possible so most of the force is directly on the screw.

Put downward pressure on the left side by pulling down on the cluster face while slowly backing the screw up, you may be able to back the screw out that way.
