I bought an a6000 about a month ago and have a tiny spec of dust on my sensor. It's not effecting my images but it's bugging me. I tired using a blower to get it off but it won't leave. If it's not effecting my images will it damage my camera or am I fine to just leave it?

You should be fine. I've got an a7r and I have a nasty chunk of dust too. It's just a pain in the ass to have to remove the spot on every single photo. You can always get a sensor cleaning kit, or bring it to a camera shop to get it cleaned if it bothers you a lot. There shouldn't be any damage caused by the dust sitting there though

Just buy a high quality soft brush at an art store and carefully brush the sensor off with very fine movements. I do this from time to time on my DSLR, it's nothing to be afraid of.
The key thing is the brush, rabbit hair brushes are the best.
