You'll break the chain or strip the threads on the hub before you dent the BB shell, which also goes to show how much force you can put on a cog with this method.
As mentioned, a rag around the BB shell will prevent it from getting scratched. Or if you just rode s----- old bikes like me you wouldn't have to worry about such things
