"joints with repeated shear will kill a grade 8 before a grade 5 will fail"
What specific information do you rely on to make this assertion? I do not find this anywhere in the Fastenal literature, but rather that shear strength is directly related to tensile strength, and Grade 8 always has a much higher tensile strength than Grade 5.
