As for stripping, that just means they zapped them on with the tool instead of hand threading to start them. I watched a friend do it after I told him not to.

Yeah, they were clearly started with the impact gun without hand-threading first.
The really sad part is that when you start them this way, you can still clearly tell they were cross-threaded as the gun struggles to tighten them, but they still rammed them all the way in and basically said F-it!
Luckily I had 4 studs on hand already, but it wasn't enough, we needed 8!
3 of the 4 wheels had bad studs.
