Well, yeah. Gluing the bearings in doesn't harm the bearings. It might not harm the frame if it is alu or carbon with an alu insert.
Ultimately though if you must glue the bearings in to solve a problem it means its possible that your frame is off-spec or the bb shell is damaged in some way.
There really should be no reason to glue the bearings down in a modern CAAD frame. The only reason you might do this is when the shell has been damaged.
