No I've never done it to video heads, the cylinder is non-magnetic as well as the tape guides. I suppose it's possible the audio-control track head might get slightly magnetized. If you record on it, I would think the record currents in the video, full-erase, audio and control track heads should take care of any slight residual magnetism.
