Every single threaded stainless steel fitting ..... especially bolts..... should be burnished with a light gauge rotary wire wheel to avoid the dreaded stainless seizure. However, if the threads were formed by compression (rolled) then there is no worry.
Wearing good side protected safety glasses is a must.... as I learned from my own painful experience when one of those fast spinning light steel wires broke loose and got me from the side.... at that rpm they can bounce and change direction at terrific speed.
