The looser tolerances in the AK platform mean that you can get away with this type of stupidity and the rifle will typically hold up better.
I once had a Mosin Nagant that I picked up for $65 at the sporting goods store. One of the crappy enameled surplus cartridges would not eject. My big brutish combat veteran friend grabbed the rifle and started slamming the bolt against the wooden table at the range until it popped out. Then he apologized for putting marks in the table. The rifle seemed more accurate after being mistreated in this way.

The rifle seemed more accurate after being mistreated in this way. It's the nature of Russian-made things. Much like their people.

Somebody once observed in jest that older Russian weapons (their Maxims, but especially their Mosin-Nagants) were designed to be used by untrained peasants and repaired by the nearest village blacksmith.

A rubber mallet should be included with the sale of every mosin.
I speak from experience.
