I've also done this doing my subframe bushing inserts. Unfortunately me being me, I got about 3/4 of the way in before it started to happen. I fucked with it for a good 2 hours before I just sent those bolts home with an impact. I actually took them back out too. The threads on the bolts deff got cut a little different but it did not strip them, it did not appear to actually strip the hole in the frame rail either. Looks like subaru was smart, bolt is softer.

I ordered new bolts anyways, as long as I don't have any issues Im going to leave it as is. However if I own this car and doing anything 20 years down the road im probably going to remember this day and hate myself.
