As with headphones, you can always just not wiggle it! Or arrange so that it doesn't rotate once it's fully inserted. There's nothing magical about the contacts in a USB connector.

Of course not. What’s special is the connector that holds it securely in place, and allows all 24 pins to make contact without shorting.
