I've only been using tire levers for this without a problem for about 50 years, so I guess the jury's still out? At some point, I decided this seemed like more of a matter of pride rather than there being anything inherently problematic with using a blunt part of a plastic tire jack.
I can do Vittoria tires by hand, however.
