Just to follow up: I did refine the mesh more and the stresses did rise more too. I did not have enough computational power to assess this problem further, so I decided to cut the eighth at a different location outside of the contact area. This helped reduce the stresses and let me focus on the corners by themselves, although there still was some increased stress at the interfaces, I did ignore them for now.
