Not really. The idea of powering a chip via an I/O pin will always cause damage. It means voltage as specified by the datasheet of the component.
It is your choice, but, it will cause damage to the part. If you power a system form one power source, it is not hard to do. Using two power sources that are not synchronized with each other, that is where the issue comes into play.
