That indeed warranted a change so I replaced it with a regular thru axle bolt.
My solution to the problem was the 1Up Quick Nut. Very clever. There’s a set screw in the nut that is set to the depth when the skewer is tightened. Once loose, the nut is unscrewed and then stops at the proper depth when screwed back in.
Unfortunately, 1Up doesn’t make them anymore
