I don't believe normal bleeding would damage the master cylinder, unless
you push the pedal all the way to the floor. Put a block of wood under the
brake pedal to keep it from going too deep.

Bleed them in the correct order with the correct procedures. Tips:

Tap on the piston or what not to release the air bubbles. Until the person
pressing the brake feels some overall firmness then you know it's time
to abort the bleeding. Have another to make sure that the reservoir is
always full. Try not to leave the fluid expose to air for too long. Use clear
tubes, if not already. Bleed sequence:

FL Driver side, RR rear passenger, FR front passenger, RL rear passenger.
