Stylus Pressure Gauge AND Damage to Stylus?

Hello everyone, I am new to this analog thing and liking it so far. I purchased a Shure SFG-2 pressure gauge and do not have the steadiest hands in the world as I am a little older now. After 1 hour or so I finally got the arm force set at optimum pressure, but while I was doing this my new cartridge (Goldring) was sliding all over the gauge lever. Can this sort of slopyness damage the stylus or cause super accessive wear?

Very Worried!
