Cleaning tip dry

Mac-Valve Maestro!
So got the HP-B and am having a blast playing with it. When I get tip dry I’m so paranoid about using my finger nails to clean off the tip as I fear I’m going to bend the needle tip somehow. Am I being overly paranoid or is it possible to bend the tip. I need to order a spare to have handy but is there any other options to clean the tip real quick without bending it?
 
Cleaning off tip dry with your fingers/nails will not damage the needle, bumping the needle into the surface that you are painting on or dropping the needle may damage it.
 
I dont have much tip dry problems but I always keep a number 4 hairy brush and some water next to my easel just in case then I simply dip the hairy brush in the water and use it to clean my needle tip
