Can constantly changing your video drivers say switching back and forth with 3-6 different ones a day destroy your computer in anyway?

No, but it can really clutter up the registry if you are not installing/uninstalling them properly. A cluttered registry could equal a slower computer.
Propper way to uninstall/reinstall video drivers:
1) Uninstall Driver
2) Restart computer / enter safe mode
3) Run Driver cleaner pro / Run Ccleaner and registry cleaner
4) restart computer
5) install new driver
I can go into more detail if you need me to. -
HDD lifetime might be reduced slightly thanks to all of the reading and writing forcing your HDD platter to spin more often than it needs to.

A post on the nVidia forum here:

Indicates you should use Driver Cleaner Pro:

to remove all remnants of the nVidia drivers before install of new drivers.
