Doing this on a gray Jaguar leaves metal debris inside the unit. Not good. The effect is the same for a Victor (I believe) except the Victor is conformally coated so that the debris is typically left largely trapped in the coating itself (the coating wicks up the terminals).

What I encourage my team to do with Black Jaguars is to only remove and replace one screw at a time (if they need to remove a screw). If they're disciplined in this practice, the screw colors can be of use. Of course I also encourage them to follow "Trust, but verify".
