Of course not.
You hold the blade ( or the credit card) at an angle ( approx. 45 degrees) and just pull it across the CPU...you're NOT gouging into the metal.
Like icing a cake, really.
How thick the layer must be depends on how flat your surfaces are.
It's likely that the Arctic Freezer will be fine, but I've read/seen that the heatspreader on the AMD chips is not particularly flat.
Some people lap their chips, others remove the heatspreader altogether.
