Default a bit OT: Will a 78 rpm record damage a normal stylus?

Weirdly I found an old 78rpm record of Harry Gordon stuffed under a hedge
this morning whilst out for a run.

I have a conventional record deck and wondered about playing it once at 45
rpm and recording it and then speeding up the playback.

Would this work?

I should wash it thoroughly but gently. Then play it on the 45. It might
be distorted though because the angle of the groove sides will be wrong.
