If you keep applying the side load eventually you won’t be able to turn the bolt at all. The bolt is the stabilizer screw jack. The side load is the aerodynamic forces transferred from surface of the stabilizer to the jack screw

Connecting the Dots: From Command to Action - scroll down to excellent illustrations of system.

And carefully note the use of the word gimbal and where used.

Although there is no doubt some side loads, IMHO and that of others- that design shows the side loads are minimal and most likley a small percent of the axial loads which when applied to a ball screw " nut " results in little friction.

Thank you
