In 40 years I've never seen a valve stem go....I've had ONE instance where a valve core leaked...on a volvo wheel that was 15 years old. I unscrewed the leaking valve core and threw in one that was hanging around the garage for the last ten years and it worked fine.
OTOH, if you see a REASON to replace the valve stem, like it leaks around the base or the rubber is badly checked, that's different. One could also get damaged if you badly curb a wheel/rim and have the bad luck to hit an extend valve stem and perhaps pinch it against the rim.
