Circlip pliers are the only way to remove and install small circlips without damaging something. I doubt they would be taking short cuts.
You would be surprised, for the past decade I have been involved in manufacturing aerospace components that end up selling for several million dollars and guys end up taking shortcuts that cost thousands to correct. If someone feels he or she can install clips faster with a wood dowel then the appropriate pliers I can see it happening.
