My parts for my old one have been through their share or wear and tear and they were fine- now this doesnt mean like throw your parts on the ground and shout "Unbreakable!", but mobos are designed for some stress- like pushing in a component until you swear that mobo is gonna break in half- never does though... usually lol
That depends. If you scratched a sub-layer of the PCB then there is no way to fix the traces. Some times however if you know what the trace is and where it goes, you can use a wire jumper between the points to patch the link. This sometimes worked on old computers.
