That's the way I always did it, but there are some pumps that are just super touchy and the slightest bump and they'll jump.
As far as the the thin nut not being able to take the torque, it is fine for that. The torque spec for a 8.8 20mm is 210 ft-lbs (285 N-m), and that's the lowest I found. And its the first three threads that take 90% of the clamp force.
