    Over-torqued screws

    Just tightening up my nice new rings on my Vx-6 and found a discrepancy between the Leupold torque figures and the rings. In Looey I trust, so I went for 28 inch pounds vs 15-18 and tore the head off the third screw. Am I buggered because the threads are stretched or can I just replace that torn screw? (There’s six screws per ring)
