Undermount sinks are usually held with clips that screw into the underside of the granite or cleats that are secured to the cabinet sides.

Both are removable, no worries.

Are you stuck on china? Metal or composite would be a safer choice if you're looking to minimize damage. Metal can flex to avoid dings, textured metals (hammered finish, for example) are even better. Man-made composites resist dings very well, but they can be scratched. Scratches can be buffed out, though.

As to repairing a china sink, some dings can be patched, some can not. I've never really seen a "pretty" repair.

Have you tried spray adhesive for your husband? I quick shot to the palm of each hand might improve his grip.

Thank Mongo! I keep hearing about those clips but everyone we've talked to in our area uses epoxy adhesive. I'll have to see if I can get them to use the clips specifically cause that would help. Not into the metal sinks much, but I was thinking about an acrylic sink just haven't a clue as to what they look like. Have Silgranit in the kitchen and love it, is it sort of like that?

In regards to DH's grip...that's hilarious! Oh how I wish!
