If the drive is a user replaceable part, it won't void anything. If I were in your situation I would just take the drive out and usb it to another machine, but i'm not sure what osx does about accessing encrypted files - ie: all your data?? The other problem your going to have is that you probably don't have a sata to usb converter to connect the drive to another machine, however, if you have a desktop with sata ports, you can open it up and plug the drive in that way if you really really want to.
Just out of interest, why do you want to delete your files? Its not like the drives dead, so you should be getting it back just as you sent it.
