yes, that would be better. in reality parameters of transistors vary. but when it is off by an order of magnitude these parts (and actually the whole batch) go to trash.
> trace to the gate blew up
if it really was trace to the _gate_ then it might be blown after mosfet itself melted. Because even really fat FETs (with high gate capacity, D-S rated to hundreds of amperes) cannot do this to copper trace.
