Did you measure your magwells pocket to verify the magwell wasn’t out of spec?I've seen it, twice. Some mags like USGI would still drop free, but mags like magpul wouldn't.
Its just best to not take the risk

If you put enough torque on a buffer tube castle nut to warp the magwell maybe cut back on the "ugga duggas" a bit. By the book the castle nut should be torqued to 40 ft lbs. And staked. I rarely stake them. Typically I just locktite them in place and have yet to have one come loose on me.
FWIW I properly torque the castle nut and have never bent or warped a magwell using a magwell block.
What gets expensive is when you decide to upgrade and then you find a better upgrade then the last.
I just wanted to see if I can do it. Bought a PSA stripped lower last month. Then ordered a PSA complete lower parts kit. And of course, I had to get a castle nut wrench. All told, it would have been cheaper just to buy the finished product. Ah, but that would be boring.
Only got one thing installed yesterday, the trigger guard. In my head it's going to be a piece of cake to finish this thing. Hope I'm right. Still have a bunch of parts to install.

I'm just working on it when the mood strikes. A couple steps at a time. Might be another week before I even look at it again. Got a few more parts installed the other day. Mag release, bolt catch, pivot pin.Takes about 20 minutes to assemble a lower. Yes, the initial investment in tools bumps that price up a bit, but tools are a one time expense. Have fun, enjoy.
Well..........maybe.Next up, build from an 80% lower!
It's fun. AR9 or AR40 could be a little different for your enjoyment.Well..........maybe.
