Not to be off topic, but really dude?

You are physically damaging the threads so they stay?
Ever hear of loctite or similar? All the benefits of ruined a stud's threads, without all the ruining!

With the proper preload, and then tightening of the poly lock, there really is not even a need for loctite let alone thread ruining.

Ha, thread ruining...
