Thicker will be better, but it will depend on servo shaft length/pulley thickness as to what's practical. Some form of box section would be better/stiffer.

Regarding the motor bearings, unless the motor has some odd wiring/end cap configuration and/or you damage the windings trying to lever the end caps off, stripping it and replacing the bearings shouldn't be a problem.
