I thought it was the bolts that stretched not the threads. Are you saying that the threads sheared? That's a different problem and that might be caused by overtorquing.
That's interesting information about backing off, but how does one figure what to back off to? It sounds like you were able to read it somewhere.
I'm staying with the original nuts and torque them and check them the old fashion way. It helps me remember how and what torque. I find that as I advance in age, practice and repetitiveness helps me remember, otherwise I have to do what real men DON'T do and that's to read the manual. My biggest problem is I forget where I put the manual.
