Bolts are shouldered and cannot be overtighten to cause the sticking.
A few possibilities for sticking, one of the two springs is broken, two the hinge part of the stand is multi layer steel and when it rusts it can swell the layers enough to cause the sticking and three it was painted and two much paint in the holes on the stand..
The only way to be sure is remove the stand and check it.
Any I came across with the rust issue I usually grind it down a bit until it moves freely.
