It's not as bad as I probably made it sound :) The risk to damage your board is very very small, AFAIK. The worst that can usually happen is that you overwrite your BIOS chip with a bogus image and cannot boot anymore. Or put it in the socket the wrong way(which I did once), in which case it'll get pretty hot and will probably be damaged (usually only the chip though, but not your board).
Are you suggesting to hotswap the chip?
Yes.
