Clipping Box Turtle's Nails?

How dangerous is it to clip a box turtle's nails if they are very overgrown? If one were to accidentally hit the bloodline could it be devastating? Can you kill your box turtle by clipping the nail a tad too short? Please excuse me if I seem grossly ignorant. Thank you.
