There are people WAY more qualified to answer this but I'll give it a whack. It's not that the strut will "break", it's that it won't be able to control the spring at that point. Do you see those kids on the street with the slammed cars and they're driving down the road and the car is bouncing up and down. That's what happens when you use to much spring for the valving.
As you can imagine you don't want to be driving through a corner having the car bouncing up and down.
