There is a case to be made for transferring a disc backwards, but unless
it's a particularly worn lacquer I wouldn't see any need for doing it in
this case. EMI sometimes played discs backwards when transferring, on the
theory that the stylus would avoid worn spots. And there are indeed
turntables that will play in reverse (Numark being one).

That is correct. But if you place a tone arm on the outside of a rotating
inside-start record, it will fall off the edge (or stay in an
end-groove), because the groove is a reverse spiral relative to an
outside-start record.
Both types play on a turntable running clockwise. For an inside-start
record to work, the spiral must be opposite to that of an outside-start
disc.
