This is a pathectic weakness of the Windows system. A lot of drivers have no idea what refresh rate your monitor is capable of.
However I doubt you could damage any modern monitor by forcing the refresh rate, though old (pre 95) monitor's are quite dodgy.
I'm afraid you'll have to live with one of the alternatives such as delta time or tweening, though they are pretty crap for 2D. Certainly a lot better than waittimer, but never as good at a steady refresh rate.
