Scratched the side of the windings, will it be OK?

So I was trying to pry open this new hub motor to check on it, and in the process I accidentally left a scratch on the side of the motor windings. I definitely stripped it to the bare copper. I'm wondering if it will still run, as I only scratched a few wires on the outside which are together in a bunch. I'm assuming they are carrying the same current and a short wouldn't matter, but Id like to be sure. https://i.postimg.cc/9XBkgK3N/15482168978333926285936810380414.jpg

On a side note, I'm really impressed with this motor. It's the first one out of China that I've seen which came installed with a protective resin coat, which in my case really paid off and stopped rust completely.
