You can screw up the preload on any bearing. But it is not hard to get the preload on QR hubs right by setting them so play just disappears when the QR is tight. The axles can only compress so much, so the system is not that sensitive to variations in QR tension.

Did you really replace your QR axles with nutted just because of this?
