Default Russell fuel elbow stripping threads...

I've watched several videos on how to properly assemble an AN fitting to stainless braided line. I did exactly as they all said but managed to strip the threads on the fitting when tightening it down. At $15 per fitting, that's pretty expensive to ruin them over and over. I've done 2 before this w/ no problems the exact same way. Any tips from the pro's?

Make sure you are putting some motor oil on the threads
