Good to know. My only concern now still lies in the fact that when I put the oil pan drain bolt back on, it doesn't thread by hand and requires a ratchet. Additionally, when I go to tighten it, I'm almost afraid to get it to 25Nm because a) it feels snug before the torque wrench gets to 25Nm and b) PTSD from last time and that I'll mess it up again and for good

It happens pretty frequently on this soft metal pan. Mine was overtightened by a repair shop and stripped out. They Had the hole repaired with a sleeve kit and larger bolt. It's been good for like 4 years since. All is not lost even if you strip it
