It can strip the bolts, warp the head, cause the bolts to fail when the engine heats up... that's pretty much it.

Do not overtighten the bolts, or the gasket will split or otherwise distort, creating a path for a new leak. This operation involves replacing a great amount of ATF; and, it is advisable to replace the transmission filter while the pan is removed, if it has not been changed.
