>This afternoon I was adjusting the valve clearance to reduce the
tappet noise. One of the locknuts is stripped. What is the correct
procedure; replace this one nut or replace all of them, on the basis
that they must all be near to failure?

Most likely a PO overtightened this one and not the others (Oops, don't do
that again). Check the others and if they turn freely they will be OK. Or
you can replace them all or replace the rockers. Or the rocker assembly.
Shipswright's disease can be terribly infectuous.
