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?

Don't do it, it will **** your stylus right royally. It will be
rattling around like a loose thing on international
loose-things-rattling-around day.

Context: Former broadcast engineer servicing and repairing 'record
players' among other things for a major UK corporation of British
broadcasting fame.
