It should be OK to drive, just take it easy on the shift lever, don't force it if it doesn't want to go in easy. As Stan said, it does appear to be a fatigue issue. However, fatigue is dependent on the stress - the greater the stress, the fewer the cycles before it breaks. Keep the stress below some certain level, and it'll never break.
