I cant see any problem in that, the aluminium in the caliper is a bit fragile, I put copperslip on my bolts when fitting but have not had to remove them yet so no idea if it has helped at all

It happens all the time. I spoke with a Subaru mechanic, and he claims they tend to be over tightened at the factory, which cause theses issues. They are always having to order new Brembo's when servicing the STI's.
