Bikes: It's complicated.

If push comes to shove and you end up damaging the threads, not all is lost.

I prefer not threading into those dropout eyelets, sometimes I drill out the threads. Best to use a bolt and nylok nut for that application, they'll never loose, and if they seize a hacksaw or dremel will remove them.
