No harm done to the driver, but no great loss even if there was: the later splined driver for AW hubs is a drop-in replacement for the threaded driver and allows you to change sprockets without having to disassemble the hub.

Have used this method multiple times. It works, and the Sturmey driver is
more than capable of handling the stress. I'd be more concerned about the wrench

Fixable but I feel the seller was obligated to have told her
the truth considering the price.
Always a good reason to keep the Park straightening tools on hand. Sorrows over bent forks can be solved quickly
