It's not worth the risk of damaging equipment IMO.
If this is a common concern, why not have the cable run stop at an
outdoor box before going in to the home? UBNT has a solution for this, I
know others do as well.

Is it possible to cut into a POE injected Cat5/6 run without frying stuff?
I think I've done it on regular Ethernet without causing damage to the Ethernet
port, but maybe I'm pushing it with that too?
I know the safest way is to unplug the Ethernet cable, then do the
splice/work/end on it, then plug it back in, but would be really nice if I
didn't have to bother the home owner when fixing/splicing a live run to the
outside of the house.
