It is not easy to overtighten the bolts. In fact if you just did it as tight as possible it would probably be fine.
I use one of those big allen keys at home, and have used a torque wrench while I was a bike mechanic. Tight with the allen key is pretty much exactly the same as the torque wrench, for me anyway.
