Can it still fit properly and does it still get detected?

If yes, then you'll be fine so long as you take care of it better.

it bends until it breaks, which is dependant on build quality.

Oh nooooo.

Now you've done it, we will all die by tomorrow by a giant meteor you cursed us with by bending a USB tip.

Thanks for nothing OP

I'd say it can bend until it stops working.

It can bend until the contacts break. Then you solder it together, retrieve the data, and toss it.

No.

 

In all seriousness, it should be fine, But be careful with it.
