I think most guys have a tendency to overtighten bolts or nuts so that plus aluminum parts get many into trouble. I'm into my asphalt multi-stage A LOT and have used an inch pound torque wrench on those little bolts every single time. The same inner basket has been used in my 4mil since 2008 and I've literally made hundreds of adjustments. Never once has a bolt broke or basket leg stripped. I don't see what the big deal is to follow torque specs.
