I replaced today my front wishbones and control arms.
Everything went well until I tried to tighten the last nut on the passenger side (the one connecting the wishbone to the wheel frame), I stripped the star part of it:

I think it was already a little bit stripped when I bought it (used). So I still have a gap of 1/8, and the place is PITA to access due to the strut being in the way. Can I keep on driving the car like this or this is a safety hazard?
I am going to replace the struts next weekend, maybe I will have better access to fix it then?
