It is a potentially dangerous condition, whether you want to fix it is up to you.
Page 1 of the S&W Smithing
FAQ's, about halfway down the page shows the fix for push off. IIRC, the hammer should be able to take about 15# of force. Forcing push off can damage the engagements, so go easy on it.
BTW, I used the procedure shown to fix this on one of my revolvers, worked fine with no problems.
