You can also retemper them by hitting them with a torch. Can't remember why but it does something to them.
For banjo bolts in brake systems they aren't just regular washers. They are copper. Regular washer would leak like a siv.

Copper works hardens when tightened. Heating them with a torch and allowing to slowly cool ( do NOT quench ) makes them soft again.
