So is stripping fasteners a common thing?

It's been common as long as I can remember. Cross-threading, over-torquing, stripping the threads, breaking the bolts, etc. Back in my consumer car repair days, I often had to fix the problems caused by hacks with impact wrenches, who didn't understand starting fasteners by hand, or how over-torquing fasteners will cause problems.
