there is the possibility of damaging the hub because rotafixing puts a lot of torque on it. just don't get carried away and you'll be fine. I'd only rotafix in an emergency situation where the proper tools aren't available. a decent chainwhip is not too expensive and your LBS shouldn't charge you much at all for the labor.
