Maybe in the long term, but a single exposure is not materially harmful. In our shop, they got the nearest aerosol. WD40, penetrating oil, lubricating oil, silicone spray lube, chain lube, whatever. It's not like it's going to stop the bead from sealing.

I never tried tire bead lube, but if you had it handily available that seems like a good choice.

Dawn dish soap works too good. The tire gets so slick sometimes it slides right back off before you get a bolt in the wheel.

I've wondered if dawn dish soap watered down, and wiped on with a rag, would work well, but I still stick to my method of whatever spray lube is at arms reach.

To answer the original question, the "best" way is to replace entire assemblies and not jack with gauge wheel breakdown, but I think that is outside the scope of answers the OP is looking for.
