My shop lubbed it up really well and put stainless steel screw in there and now I'm too much of a wuss to tighten it too much. So i took it BACK to the shop and they tightened it down to "little more than 7Nm" and sure as sh*t it slipped about 2mm after 2 hour ride last night.

Can steel stretch over time ??
Yes it can and the SP may be undersized to boot...if it still slips after being knurled.
