torque them about 10 lbs less

Most batteries except automotive only specify about 100 in/lb max

Yeah, to be clear that's 10in/lbs less. About 85in/lbs with lubricant. The specs I read were 95 to 105 in/lb.

If you know a place that will pour new hot lead on a damaged terminal to repair it, you should be talking to the old guys at that place. No one does that type of stuff that I know of. See if they will let you see their process of doing so. Not to copy their work, but to see how they did it, and see if it is a awesome job like how a real battery terminal is made.
