On spitfires, when they started to use the canvas strips to feed the colt brownings through the lower pannels apparently they could rearm the guns in 10 minutes.

Damage and repair is a completely different matter. Either the damage would be superficial and as pilot in command you'ld need to decide if it was worth your life taking off or time to get a new plane.

In a realistic senario hopefully it would be possible for pilots to be penalised for not following the taxi ways when heading from the runway to the rearming point. Extra damage to undercarrage, radio going u/s due to all the bumps, sights getting knocked out of alignment etc!

Cheers!
