Back in the day I fully took apart and reassembled my shengshou 8x8.
I just recently took apart and lubed my current 7x7 and I actually found it harder than when I did my 6x6 a month ago.
I have taken apart and reassembled 6x6's and 7x7's many times.
 
Yuxin Gigaminx

I disassembled it for magnetisation, and I spent 7 hours on that. It turns out to be very great that magnets work very well in megaminx and big cubes, and the gigaminx is kind of the mix of that.

Here is how I did it:

I considered doing this after watching a tutorial on youtube, but then decided it would take too much time. I also found out a company may be mass producing one soon, so I will wait for that. But speaking of the "YuXin Gigaminx", I just did my first timed solve on it an hour ago and got 24:13. I wonder how that compares to other people's times.

As for the thread, I assembled about one and a half 7x7s last week. Now I have 8 outer layers of a 9x9 reassembled with a ton of tape keeping it together, waiting on replacement parts to finish the middle layer and put it all back together.

Back in the old days when I was serious about 5x5 speed and was using a Rubik's brand 5x5 (aka Professors Cube), I would routinely disassemble it, dump all parts into a bag, spray a bunch of lube in, shake the bag vigously to coat all the surfaces, and then reassemble. I'd do it like once every 2-3 weeks for over a year. I was dedicated back then doing over 100 solves a day of 5x5.

I'm not even sub 2:30 in comp for megaminx and I only barely sub 3 for 5x5 in comp. However, I'm sub 20 with my yuxin gigaminx M.
 
I think I disassembled and reassembled my Maru 4x4 to try to fix the centers being misaligned problem which is annoying and something that no modern cube does. It was a pain to reassemble and I think I resorted to rubver bands. I would ask about a Maru 4x4 mod but that probably would've been more appropriate a decade ago
