I have to believe that clamping to the outermost peaks of the threads will have a difficult time grabbing with
adequate force to keep the stem in position. There is probably only 20% of the clamping area as compared
to an unthreaded tube. (in addition to the stress point/possible fracture scenario.)

I will yield to responses from those who are more knowledgeable than I...........
