No. No reason it should.
When drilling into the pin it's best to put the pin in the center of the hole so no part of the plastic pin intersects the hole itself. This reduces the possibility of the coverstock cracking. When you put the pin close to the hole or drill out only part of the pin, then your chances of the coverstock cracking are raised significantly.

No, it won't hurt the way it rolls.

Lay out the ball.  If the pin is in the way then drill it out.
