Get 2 plates, put a bolt thru, put a nut & bolt in, use 1/4" ,, something small, use cheap, crappy bolts & feel of them. Strip a few, get close to stripping them, pull a nut & flip it & try to put it back on.. Youll know it was stressed if it wont go "upside down". The threads will be distorted. Youll get the feel of a bolt that has hit its max clamping force. Yea, youll waste an hour or more & spend a coupla bucks on stuff to ruin, but in the long run, youll save hours of hassles & who knows how many dollars.
