FP ok to stall?

I know in years past, FP motors loved to produce magic smoke when they stall (now replaced by thermal trip). My dilemma this year is our roller (single fp) isn't geared down enough (2500rpm) and we are having trouble controlling the ball.

Question: If we run the FP motor at 30% power and stall it for no more than 10 seconds, will this still cause thermal trip/magic smoke or is this a "safe" option?
