I think I confused myself by using the thickness value they used for their torsional strip, and not realizing that the tensile stress term is limited by the ultimate tensile strength. But it all makes sense now. The torsional strip can of course still be 30 um because the they use a width on the order of 1 mm, which ends up lowering the effective tensile stress.
