It's definately possible, and is commonly done even after water breaks to speed up labor. However, you will never know for sure since some midwives have hard hands and their vaginal exams nearly always seem to hurt the women. It is also possible to do stripping gently, without causing pain, just minor discomfort. Stripping is not a terrible thing, and can be used wisely instead of needing to break water or to use Pitocin to stimulate labor. The important thing is to always tell women and ask their permission. It should never be done for no reason either.
