It's more common with smaller allen keys. 3mm allen heads are the worst. Many of the hardware kits for racks come with a bunch of 3mm pan head bolts and a free allen wrench. The wrench sucks so it's easy to round it out. Rack hardware should be pretty tight, but 3mm pan heads are horrible. If that's possibly your situation, replace all the 3mm pan head M5 bolts with 4mm or 5mm button head M5 bolts.
Aside from the special case of all-too-common 3mm pan head bolts, cheap or worn tools, low quality fasteners and overtightening are all possible causes.
