It's possible the cap is cracked from a previous over tightening. Have a close look at the cap when you winterize and see if you can see a crack. It may be down the side or around the outside diameter. At any rate, a new cap would be cheap enough to try for next season and any decent local pool store should have a replacement I would think.
I'll leave you two to the rest of your 'give a Dang' discussion.
