Should be fine.
Do a search, there are quite a few "how to fix" threads about the clutch tube repair.

You can cut an access hole if you need to. I had to cut one to get to a brake line union I had made. Don't see a problem with it.
Steve,
I cut a hole just in front of the tube exit when I had my "little" problem. It doesn't really hurt anything (just pisses you off).

Ron,
Yeah, I saw that. I think that's what pinched the tube. The cable gets stuck right at the opening.
