Since it never happened to me (knock on wood!) I found myself figuring how it does happens. After all pedals never come loose. They tend to get seized, stuck into the crank arms. So, I guess stripping happens when people use much too brute force to unscrew. Why not heating up the crank eye, gently, with a torch?

Be well!
