If you're very careful not to allow it to migrate to places it shouldn't be, it's Ok.

To tighten your ejector rod:
Put 3 FIRED cases into the chambers, with an empty chamber between each case. This will protect the ejector pins and ejector from being damaged.
Wrap some sheet brass, lead, copper, or leather around the ejector rod to protect it. Put the end in a vise, or CAREFULLY grip with a pair of pliers and tighten the rod down snug, BUT NOT TOO TIGHT. Be careful not to bend the rod while doing this.
