It is the small bolts on a bicycle, e.g., stem bolts, seat post bolts, etc., which are easy to strip. Most of these bolts specify either 5 Nm or 6 Nm, so you can just buy the appropriate Topeak Nano TorqBar for <$30:

Topeak Nano TorqBar 5 with 5 Tool bits, 5nm : Sports & Outdoors (amazon.com) (5 Nm version)
Amazon.com : Topeak Nano TorqBar 6 with 5 Tool bits, 6nm : Sports & Outdoors (6 Nm version)

I have a 1/2" drive torque wrench for automotive work (mostly wheel bolts), but I don't think it would be accurate enough at the 5 Nm to 6 Nm range.
