How common is it to break caliper bolts in guide pins?

I haven't changed brake pads in years, but I just did one side fine. Then, I went to the other side, and both bolts broke off in the guide pins.

Did the previous guy just put them on with an impact wrench, and the first two were just luck?

It happens now and then, but I've only ever seen one, not both.

My wife reminded me that she had that side worked on after her wreck. Maybe one side got over torqued. I ordered some new ones and will throw them on in the morning. Just annoying

I break them nearly every time. I think maybe it's the heat cycles.
