adj, You just can never figure that these types of things are going to happen but road debris may have impacted on that bolt and created the damage. I know that the bolts are put on at the factory under very controlled conditions and are torqued by the installation tool. If the threads were that bad going on the tool would have stopped and they would have changed the bolt.
I have had my own road debris damage. On my beautiful Gibson exhaust tips, I expect that a stone came up and put a impact dent underneath the pipe. It's not visible so it's not too bad - but I know its there.
i don't expect that I would be able to put that type of dent on the pipe using a hammer but it's there. It's not nice to fool "Mother Road Debris!"
