What cartridge do you have? Most carts will have a "range" of tracking force. I have always tracked most carts towards the higher end of that range.
I have setup hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of turntables and have never seen a cart that tracks at .5 grams. I agree you can do a lot of damage tracking too low.
