I'll throw my hat into the ring, I've got two.

My dad and I rebuilt the engine in our B5 S4. I stripped the coolant drain bolt for the block... thank god we were pulling the motor out anyway and we were able to get it out easily.

I also maybe slightly overtightened a screw for the cam retainer things and slightly stripped the threads lol. Runs fine though... here's to hoping it doesn't come back to bite us in the a$$. I desperately don't want to replace another head lol.
