Damages to optical drives is a myth that has never been proven. (Of course, it hasn't as it would require an expensive testing lab to prove, without doubt, that faults in the hardware are caused exclusively by the Starforce protection. The company knows this, that's why they came up with their disgusting campaign...)
As for playing without Starforce, use a no-CD/DVD patch: it has (the major parts of) the copy protection removed from the software so no sneaky drivers will be installed and no weird hardware/software behavior will be caused. (A mini/maxi/full image or a backup copy won't help as then you will still have the copy protection installed, even if also fooled.)
