That's a concern which others have raised, but the fact is that unless one intentionally presses directly up (and hard!) on the thumb end of the device, there is no way to damage the shoe.
You'll find that when used correctly (and naturally), the vast majority of the pressure falls harmlessly on the upper rear plate of the M8. It would take either a remarkable act of stupidity, or incredibly bad luck (i.e. dropping the camera and having the Thumbs Up struck at the wrong angle) to damage the shoe.
