The glue on the tape will foul the zipper. You’re not really going to beat up the inside of the dryer, especially if you dry the zippered garment with other clothes, which will serve as a barrier and a cushion to the interior of the dryer.

What about turning the garments inside out?

Not aware of any tape . . . and any glue on the tape would be burned into the teeth of the zipper by the heat of the dryer. Then your zippers would stick and rip apart.

Tape won’t work anywhere on the clothing, deal.

Turn them inside out, zip them up and try putting more clothing in the dryer with whatever has the zipper.

Scratches aren’t a big deal. Like others have said, the scratches won’t be what kills it in the end.
