Tonight is the first I had heard of this. Being that I like to play it safe AND I've drank too much beer tonight, I just got on fleabay and ordered the complete set of McGard lug nuts (84505, lug nuts, locking lug nuts and the lock storage bag) for $74.35.

(understood, but i'd rather be a little off on lug torque than have to replace a stud after hacking it off the truck)

Exact opposite. Torque values are only properly achieved when threads are not affected by rust, corrosion, etc. when threads are not subject to any added friction and/or resistance. When you add anti-seize or lube to threads, only then you CAN achieve proper torque values. The friction of thread contact has a negative affect of the clamping force of the fastener.
