Can the menu/forward/backward/pause be scratched/peeled off?

Question

to prevent scratches i usually put some packing tape on wherever need be (cell phone screens, etc)
I was thinking of doing the same as it has done a great job for me in the past, but i don't want to be peeling off any of the clickwheel as well.
can someone confirm that the clickwheel isn't a decal sprayon?

OK, I'm going the applescript route. When I run the script within automator, it works fine. However, when I run the script from a menu as a service, it has no effect at all on iTunes. I must be missing something.
Here's my script:
tell application "iTunes"
          if player state is stopped then return
          try
                    set player position to (get player position) + (-5)
          end try
end tell
