"Less than" is ambiguous... 1Nm is less than 6Nm right? Would that be ok?
Maybe if it properly tightens the bolt without it coming loose and will not cause damage. The max is there so you don't go above and cause damage but if you can get away with much lower torque go for it. That is the whole idea.
