If you're very lucky, no. BUT it will probably cause a catastrophic failure at some stage.

It would be best to open the motor casing, locate and remove the nut, and re-assemble. It may be that this can only be done in an appropriate workshop facility.

If the nut is of non-magnetic material, turning the motor to the stable-2 position and shaking it may be all that is required to remove it.
