I don't think that the motors will burn out if you run them at lower voltage.

Stepper motors have fixed coil resistance (unless hot). Running them at lower voltage will result in lower current and hence in lower torque.
Lower voltage+current also means lower power consumption and less generated heat (longer lifetime?).

However, if the voltage is too low they may start skipping steps and the controller may not like it either.
