The term is supposed to be "rounded off", not "stripped". Rounding off relates to the lug nut hexagonal exterior. Stripping refers to the (interior) thread.

At least the OP was able to explain what was going on.

My guess is inexperience. Some ppl grew up working on cars; a lot of ppl aren't so lucky.
