I know its common sense to exclude the skills section in a CV if it's only going to be a filler with minimum requirements such as Ms Office & financial modelling.
But my worry is if HR would count it against a candidate for not including any skills at all (HR people are weird at times).

If you're worried about it... Just put it in. It's one line.
Agree with this - if you're going to be overthinking it and worried that you might get rejected as a result (and therefore blame that in pat for not getting interviews), then include it so you can move on. Good luck!!
