Spread out over almost the entire length of the keybed I find this a much more appealing sacrifice than using the relatively small area provided by the lyre itself. The contact area, if used correctly is the front of the keybed with the tool starting at the left leg side and running along the length close to the front. This should have very little chance of driving the drop screws into the pin block I'd say.
