Hello,
Typically ROMMON software is burned into EEPROM (in lower end
routers/switches). So, the chance of that software getting corrupted is very
minimal. You could check the ROMMON version using the "show version" output.
ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.3(6r) , RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
The only time you want to upgrade ROMMON on lower end devices is when the
older ROMMON does not support certain hardware. Here is the procedure to
upgrade ROMMON on some of the platforms:

In higher end platforms, typically you use boot images to recover the
device.
Hope this helps.
