So practically you're suggesting to treat them as if they are weak as babies, but they are adults and have some muscles even if their strength 8.
Hyperbole much? We are talking about performing feats that require high strength and babies have nothing to do with it.

Obviously 8 strength shouldn't be able to do everything 17 strength can do by getting lucky.
