Should I re-sanitize the whole lid and airlock/blow off assembly?

I would make sure that the gravity has stabilized before going into secondary, otherwise, you may end up re-starting fermentation and blowing off with the little headroom in secondary.
AS for taking reading, I just pop the lid off for a second and use a sanitized turkey baster to grab a sample and snap the lid back on.
