Here's a test to play with. Take a 3/8 - 16 X 1" bolt, put 3 washers on it and then a nut.
Put some never seize on it and torque it to spec. (about 32 ft lbs) or what ever the chart says. The bolt will fail before you get to the torque spec. Wheel bearing grease works well too ! Not trying to be a smart ass here. We just need to be careful/mindful of what we are trying to do. Sometimes more is not better.......Bruce

If it's a cheap hardware store bolt, yes. But if it's grade 8 or AN(military or race car spec), it will not fail.

I'd love to see a stripped axle nut. Just try to do it. I'd bet on that not happening.
