I now have a new key on order and have to wait till it gets here. Fortunately it was the first one I tried so am only out one key. Gorilla locks dont like 140 flbs.

I have the same Gorilla locks torqued to 140 lbs. as do many others on the site. This is the first I have heard of a key stripping.
Maybe you tightened it on a angle, or the key was not in all the way.......... ..
