The very soft plugs threads are easy to striped!!!
This is the main reason to do a compression test when the engine is cold.

Your engine is more than fine at 130psi or so, it just show a well aging engine.

Cold compression test will show a slightly higher result.

Don't look for trouble where there is none.
