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

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?


It will work after a fashion. But the smaller stylus will bottom on the
groove and not give the best results. Which likely won't matter much.
