The strut failed at 20% of its design load? Doesn’t the SpaceX team do destructive testing to failure on samples? What sort of flaw would lead to such a low load failure?

Don't worry. They're reviewing it.

This sounds like a failure in non-destructive testing. Old school stuff and a QA/QC issue. A failure at 20% of design load would indicate a material fault, easily revealed with industrial radiography.
If it was industrial espionage, that is another issue.
