Yeah, the nozzles can survive a little bit of scrape-off like that, but it can change the orifice geometry so just be aware. What model/make of machine/hot end do you have, if you don't mind my asking? The cheap Ender-style PTFE-lined hot ends are pretty intolerant to just nozzle swaps, and if you have one of those, I have some videos I recommend watching so you know how to rebuild it properly should you ever need to again.
