Do you have experience with 10-32 in an M5 nut to base this recommendation on? It works, and from our experience it doesn't "cause more wear." It makes sense to use 10-32 because they're already commonly used in other places in FRC robots, they're cheaper than M5, more sizes are available, and they're easier to find.

plastic omni wheels are held together with 10-32 screws and M5 nuts, by the way.
Edit: I thought the rest of the post was quite helpful.
