I had the same worry, so I built a small tool with my 3D printer:However, putting filters on and taking them off is a bit of a hassle and I have often wondered if in the process I am putting the gimbal under too much stress.

Since most people don't have a 3D printer, you should look around and see if there is a commercial equivalent.
Using this tool I am able to much more precisely hold the filter and more important, I am able to keep my fingers away from the camera and the gimbal. This is important because I realized the reason I was putting so much stress on the gimbal is that as I tried to push or pull on the filter to take it off or get it into place, and as I tried to rotate it during those operations, my fat fingers would overlap onto the camera and end up turning that as well.
