PINCHED NUTS QUESTION

I have front strut rod nut that threads right on. Could I just give that nut a squeeze in the vice to distort it a bit at the trailing edge?
If its the nut in bottom pic of post #7 I think you could distort that thin neck on top of that nut just like factory did and be good to go, or just use a chisel to distort it a bit after torqued to spec.
