Lug nuts and studs are CAREFULLY engineered by SAE so the nuts are not nearly as hard or strong as the studs. So over-tightening STRETCHES and DISTORTS the threads in the nuts.
Wire brush, wipe the STUD threads clean, then screw on a new lug nut by hand. If it spins on by hand and needs only a small wrench tweak here and there to pass burred stud threads, you are home free.
Your trailer guy may need his nuts tightened as a proper example.
