203 ft-lbs is ~275Nm, which is pretty normal for strut-to-knuckle bolts on Toyotas.  When you say "stripped", do you mean the actual thread on the bolt/nut or did the head of the nut get rounded off?

 

Also, what was the condition of the thread before you tried to tighten it up?  Suspension bolts cope some of the worst conditions of any fastener in the car.
