If you are really worried, and it isn't cracked, put some epoxy in thar.

Oh, I guess I should add. A helmets safety comes mostly from the foam. Not only does it lessen impact by absorbing force, if you land on a rock, the plastic won't do shit, but the foam is really hard to poke a hole through and pop your brain box.

But wait... How did you make a hole while getting a mount off?

this proves you have no idea what your talking about. To OP it should be fine.
