Anybody's Fidanza Flywheel strip easily?

These cheap *** Fidanza flywheels really strip this easily? i bought it used and one hole that hold PP was already completely stripped, i was torquing the rest to 25ft lbs the final torque and one just started spinning. wtf? anybody have this issue?

will a rethread kit from autozone work?
