Once I read a book by Orson Scott Card. At some point, the protagonist rescued a woman in olden times and another said something like "if that were me, I would have worn you down to a stump from gratitude!"

Like many things by that author, there were problematic elements, but your comment reminded me of it.

Yes, I've heard it is very problematic to live with a worn one.
