I've always heard that they can bite. But never been privy to any damage.
No doubt an adult cricket could do damage but I wouldn't think pin heads would have strong enough mandibles to do damage.
Monitors can sleep pretty hard sometimes, but getting bit would likely wake them up to chase the insect down.

Likely it's more of an issue with the softer skin of geckoes.
