One more thought. When you tighten a nut on a bolt pinching whatever is between a properly torqued nut will stretch the bolt (or stud) a specific amount. Once the stud has been over-stretched the strength of the bolt has been compromised.
I believe the 5/8 studs have plenty of margin. If you have 9/16 studs additional care should be taken.
