Do quick release skewers wear out?

I already searched online.

I've had issues with my Flo wheels and wobbling, brake rub, and more recently the rear wheel skewer would actually come loose during sprints. At this point the hub was squeaking and the rim was dented anyway and the front wheel was gone from a theft when it was temporarily on another bike, so I just threw it out and bought a set of Campy Eurus wheels. Oh so smooth, so true, so quiet, and no slippage!

I'm thinking somehow the old skewers were worn and not gripping well. Is this a thing? I never had that issue with other wheels.
