Hi, quickly I received and assembled my new bike (endurance allroad), but when I was tightening the front wheel, I accidentally applied too much pressure (not sure how much exactly but think something about 10nm). I tried to apply pressure to the part that looked scraped and it seemed good but I am a bit scared. What should I do? Here is the photo, as there is no cracks around the bolt. The inside (behind the bolt looks scraped).

Probably used the wrong hex.
Assuming you just stripped the head, you’ll need to buy a new thru axle. I did this on my old bike. It was less than $100 but it was back ordered, which was annoying. The frame looks fine.
Just bite the bullet and buy a torque wrench if you haven’t already.
Ike should have come with a torque wrench. Use that next time with your new thru axle.
