Rounded square taper cranks are almost always the result of insufficient torque on the fixing bolts. If you don't tighten them to spec they WILL loosen and destroy your crankset. This is the one part on a bicycle I would argue a torque wrench is absolutely necessary unless you've done the job before or have a good feel for 40ft*lbs.
