It's repeated loading and unloading that causes the stress, not long term compression.

I wouldn't/don't leave them loaded to capacity for long term storage...a few rounds short isn't going to hurt anything.

Load them up and don't worry about it.

My uncle had a bunch of m1 carbine 15 round mags he loaded in the 60's and had never unloaded the mags. I took them to the range a few years ago and had no problems at all with the mags. They were loaded for fiftyish years and all did just fine.
