there is a saying in my country:
to get a nut tight: Tighten it until it loosens, then back off a quarter turn.
As it is pointed in the article, it really creeps up on you, and it is much harder to 'back off quarter turn' when the nut is broken.

I have. small metric 10 nut.
Also, with almost no effort you can strip the threads in spark plugs holes (aluminium head).
Click, swear, back it off a quarter turn. Often with vice grips. I've been lucky so far.
Not great either is the way my impact gun is designed. You put it down on the wrong side, and the direction slider gets pushed so you're ramming it back on instead of taking it off.
