List -
This effect is very common. The metal "pulled out" of the threaded part
will be limited by the through-hole in the cap, however, the edges of the
cap hole might "lip out" due to the pressure.
A common alternative to filing the mating surfaces (good way for an
experienced hand) is to use a countersink. Chuck it into a drill motor so
that you can keep it straight and hand turn the shaft. Laying a straight
edge across the mating surfaces will tell you whether you (still) have a
problem.
