I wouldn't worry about it... tires are far more likely to burst due to
low pressure than from high pressure. The reason for this is that tires with too low of pressure will flex and deform too much causing them to overheat and in the worst case disintegrate and burst. Another benefit of higher pressure is that if you hit a curb and destroy your tire, you'll at least protect your rims. Brand new tires have been burst tested well over 300psi with usually the tire rims failing before the tire failing.
