Really? Majority of mechanics don't use a torque wrench when they put the tire back. Come to think of it, it is an exception to find somebody using a torque wrench.
Also within 5-10 is within the 10% tolerance. I do not believe that is going to lead to wrapped rotor. If you have a better documented source to prove your point, I am all ears.
