As long as people use the stars in their stock form without cutting or sanding or grinding, they are completely safe. I myself have a pressurized gas chamber made mostly of BeO in crucial areas, and I am not worried about Berylliosis. Unless I were to drop it and break it, causing BeO dust that may become airborn. But yeah, it's mostly safe.
On a separate idea, what if you cut out the insulating layer below the slug and used, say, indium solder or indium metal to bond it to aluminum. Anybody know if indium will wet aluminum or slightly oxidized aluminum?
