Not very would be my guess. I've seen loose/broken threads in mine when I took them off and that was reason enough to replace them.

If they get put on too tight, they shear at the top of the ball when you take them off.
Then you have to drill off the ball with a 3/4 inch hole saw. The local high end mechanics did this to my 928 when I had them mount new tires. It was the last time they ever touched one of my cars. The guy is a friend of mine too, and I once saved him 10,000 dollars framing a mega addition on his house and roofing it. Now I hear I am a bad customer...
Use an impact to get them off, if you want minimal damage. If yours won't do it, get a proper one.
