I think its impossible to intall the bearing upside down. the bolts would be upside down. When I installed struts the Bilstein HD gland nut was different than the orginal. It also screwed in a lot less than the orginals based on the strut being a little taller. I used 2 pipe wrenches instead of the special strut wrench so the number of cutouts is irrelevant. Just have to be carefull of nicking the strut tube. Anti seize on the threads seems to be a popular thing to do.
