The magnets in an MM are comparitively weak that you won't have any real danger. MCs are another story!!I learned this the hard way many moons ago when I installed my first MC with the same screwdriver I had used to install many MM's without issue. I bought an aluminum shank screwdriver along with the replacement cartridge. :)

I should have added "ask me how I know..." I did exactly the same thing as you with a Denon DL110 which my father bought as a consolation for only being able to afford a Dual 505mk3 - dad didn't have much money and our Philips 212 (with a Stanton 681EE) was on the fritz. I begged him to look at a Planar3 which in the 80s was the deck of choice, but he said that the Dual came with a cartridge.
Being young at the time (and very ignorant!) I just took a screwdriver up to the underside to tighten the screws and my heart jumped up to my throat as the screwdriver slammed into the plaque just a hair away from the cantilever!! Naturally, I didn't bother telling dad...no sense in worrying him about nothing....

You got lucky! I guess on the bright side for me the lump in my throat turned out to be from trashing a $150 cartridge instead of cancer. :)
