Might be in the lug nut itself? Not necessarily the thread, but the part of the nut that meets the wheel? Check for flaws there? Also, a light coat of Never-Seeze on the part of the nut (curved shoulder) that meets the wheel won't hurt. A P-car pro tech gave me that never-seeze tip decades ago...
(edit) I used to always use a breaker bar/socket to remove lug nuts. Then put 'em on finger tight, only use the torque wrench to torque on in a staggered pattern. Today, age 79? It's only a Mustang or a Toyota...I hire it done. My "give a krap" meter is stuck at close to zero.
