Is a tubless tire still good after it blows off a rim?

For a PDX on an Alpha, a I'd get a new tire. Those Clememts will stretch and the Alphas are a more finicky rim for CX. You want to maximize bead retention and starting with a potentially compromised tire its asking for trouble.

For CX, right? If the bead looks okay it should be fine to keep using.
For road, I would probably think twice.

While using a floor pump to seat a Clement PDX clincher on a Stan's Alpha rim I exceeded the recommened pressure and blew the tire off the rim (was concentrating on the baseball game instead of the pump). I was able to re-seat the tire and it sealed up fine but I'm now wondering if the tire bead has any permanent stretch and may not be completely safe to ride? Any opinions/advice/experience?
