    My luthier disagrees with stretching strings...

    Of course the string lengthens. That's what you're doing when you turn the machine head to tune up. I'd advise only putting a small amount of wind around the machine head 9 and cut off the rest), as the friction caused by a lot of winding takes even more time for the string to settle in.
