The thermal compound will stay nice and pliable for quite a few years. No worries there. If its difficult to remove the HS from the CPU, just run the PC for awhile to heat up the HS/CPU and then remove the the HS, after turning the PC off though. (silly disclaimer I know, but you can never underestimate what some may try)

The thermal compound is easy to remove, all you need is rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover or something like Goo Gone.
