Let's keep in mind that torque specs are meant to set the fastener
(bolt, stud) into the approximate middle of its elasticity range and the
torque specs are given in a range too. If a torque spec is given as,
say 40 - 50 ft-lbs I'll set my wrench for 45 and sneak up on it. One
crenelation in a castellated nut, more or less, isn't that big a deal, IMO.
