^ don't do this, crank bolts exist for a reason.
What might be a slight tap for one person could be a taper-hole splitting whack for another. I don't know what the big deal is, just tighten them to the right amount. Practice by being alive for a while and having to tighten a few hundred bolts around home and work, stripping a few and eventually getting a feel for it.
