If you push the throttles/power levers fully forward will you damage the engine?
You might produce more power/epr than the rated thrust but I doubt you will damage it.
At a minimum you'll be consuming the economic life of the engine faster than the normal rate, which is damage of a kind.

Go sufficiently high in terms of power and yes, you will damage stuff pretty quickly.
