Stupid place to put it, one would have to assume there was no option, I would put a small timber frame around this, fix gripper rods with liquid nails so not to damage the pipe.

Pipes should be at least 2" below the woodwork. This is to protect them against floorboard nails and suchlike. Unfortunatley lazy builders don't stick to the rules. When you have an opportunity (and the funds) move the pipe.
A standard carpet gripper should not penetrate the wood (if it's about 1/2" thick).
Just be carefull about the step flexing and damaging the pipe when you're hammering it in.

Carpet gripper nails wont penetrate a stair riser all the way through.

if the step is concrete then the pipe should be protected from the cement,if the step is wooden then it could probably have went underneath.gas pipes should not be fitted where it can be subjected to damage.if a gas engineer sees it he will give you a warning/advice notice,as the pipework would be classed as,at risk.he would then turn of the gas supply,(with your permission)until the pipe has been altered to confirm with the gas regulations.

Yes, not a problem, but DO NOT SMOKE when using the stairs.
