Jon,
A grade 8 nut with fewer threads torqued to spec will make a stronger
assembly than a grade 5 with more threads since the grade 5 nut can not be
pulled as tightly.
If you are looking for an alternative, there is the self locking grade 8
nut, but it would in all likelyhood take the stud out if removed later.
Bjorn
