Nonsense. You must be using the wrong bolts. The rail should be
assembled using the 5/16"-18x11/16' Hex Shoulder Bolts. Because they
have a shoulder, they can't be overtightened - the nuts will travel only
until they hit the shoulder. You can then tighen them with a wrench and
they will put no undue pressure on the drive screw.
Be careful how you dish out advice. Leaving those bolts lose could end
injuring someone.
