Gallium tends alloy with most other metals by just being near it.
The bigger problem is application. It's easy to apply too little and have worse temps, or too much and have it squeezed out. It's conductive, so squeeze out can be deadly to your build. I won't touch the stuff anymore.
Ideally it is just a few minor extra degrees compared to a good regular paste anyway. Really not worth it for most people.
That's terrifying. I'm crazy-careful and I know that I would never be able to tell if .0001 ccl leaked out after tightening down the CPU, etc shorting connections...
