SMASH!

Let me clarify.... if there are any imperfections, foreign object, etc in the thread of either - the nut may grab and you'll start turning the stud even if the nut has not threaded down to the mating surface. This would be difficult to perceive with such small fasteners, more so if you were using a socket over it. Not sure how much torque it would require to puncture through though... either way, just a thought. Still seems like a good solution.
