I use screw eyes on my final process,, Initialy, I hang them on short lengths of coat hanger, like flap said, I believe that the threads only compress the wood, I also feel that if those tiny little threads damaged my sealer, I guess my sealing process isnt worth a damn. I use them (screw eyes) on Maple,mahogany, birch and pine, no issues.....once the plug has cured from the sealer ( I'm in the BLO camp) I then remove the wire and dip in sanding sealer ( shelac based like my primer) and wipe off the excess, especialy on the ends and then insert my screw eyes and hang to be primed, It is my belief ( and I could be all wet) that the little extra doesnt hurt, at least from a sealing stand point, but I do know, that the primer ( binz shelac based) sticks far better than just primer on the wood, I've dropped plugs, kicked them across the shop scraped them with pliars, the stuff wears like iron if you apply the sanding sealer...
