No, an Alpha Rex cannot destroy metal spikes, as alpha predators no longer damage metal structures, only stone structures as intended. The Metal Spike Wall is treated as a stone structure and can only be damaged by specific creatures and items, such as Metal Weapons, Tek Sword, Explosives, Ballista Turret, Cannon, Therizinosaur, Arthropluera, and Chalicotherium.
