Easy fix, don't know why someone hasn't thought of it sooner. I have torn numerous things also when putting them into the bags.
Did you have to trim the bolt down at all so that the acorn tightened or was it fine as is?

I cut the exposed threads flush with the nut using a dremel and cut off wheel.. Then a piece of black gorilla duct tape over the nut. More room to put large items in and it all slides over the duct tape. No rips or scatches.
