I certainly expect that the HDD manufacturer would then run a burn-in
test on their finished HDDs to make sure that they are in good order
before shipping them off. If so, doing it again would be a waste of
time.

By stress test, if we're talking about a full self-test, which can take
hours, testing every sector, then I'm sure that the manufacturers don't
do that, judging by all the bad drives people receive.

If you mean, do they quickly test the circuit board, then I really hope
they do do that!
