Default Flarenuts

Has anyone else had problems with every flarenut on the car ? I use flarenut wrenchs and on every single flarenut ive dealt with the nut just strips to hell. Ill be on the nut completely and turn and the sides of the nut just begin to crumble. Does honda use the cheapest weakest material for these nuts or is it just age of the car.
