An interesting spin on the available data. Your 20kN force has been totally blown away. Wouldn't it be best to admit you were mistaken there? Jobst has a point about fretting over time for indentation reinforcement.
i'm delighted that number's "blown away"! i said from the beginning that my figure was a guesstimate.
You said "a rough calc shows the clamping force for a normal skewer is ~>20kN", which has been shown to be out by a factor of about 3 from a plausible upper limit and more like an order of magnitude according to actual measurements.
No doubt you'll be "delighted" once you work out that the rest of your argument is similarly wrong.

That 5 mm skewer will plastically deform at 20 kN tension.

Actually, it isn't.
But if it helps you to make a buck or three to think otherwise, great.
