My worry is that the bolt was tightened too much, causing the damage.
I hope not but I have never used an allen key with those screws, always a screwdriver so I was sure to not overtighten.

Did you ask the luthier specifically about it?
Make sure the string is deep enough down, and placed so that it will be tightened (for example if there is a mark from the string that it easily can fall into, and get out of, don't put it there), and tighten it until the screw is completely stuck. Play for a bit (without bending), and in an hour or so, check the screw again. You can see if the problem is the screw untightening itself, or if the string will somehow manage to pull itself out. Unless of course, the problem happents immediately after putting on new strings.
Does it happen to all the strings, or just some specific ones?
How does the blocks that tighten it look?
Hope you solve it, good luck
Thanks for the input Sollesness, lots of advice in there.
As for the luthier I would love to find a new good one. My Luthier was pretty old and he unfortunately died a few months ago.
I went to see a new one but he was bad, I won't go see him anymore. I have also called lots of luthier in Montreal but they are all too busy and I have to leave them my guitar for at leats 3 weeks, can't wait that long. Also I want a luthier that can show me what he does on my guitar and all the one I called hadn't the time to show it to me.
In my Foyd Rose they don't seem to have any place where to put the strings specifically, and it is usually the 3 thinest strings that pop off. For now I have found a temporary solution that works. I used a new e-string and instead of cutting all the end of the string I cut only the ball and kept the extra wound string at the end (I hope this is clear). For now it seems to work since I have been able to do alot of 2 whole step bends.
I hope this is a correct way to fix it and I will see how much time it is going to work...
Beside any extra tips or comments about my solution are more then welcome
