"No it won't damage it but if you take the top out of a tree it will put it energy into grow out sideways.
As far as oaks go I would advise bringing the sides in a small amount when thinning the crown.
I hope this helps

"Tidying the crown of a oak tree is absolutely fine providing it is not thinned to much and correct pruning methods are used. Ensure you have a reputable qualified arborist carry out the work to ensure the best results."
