In my experience, and I've been making 6 figures for awhile and I hire 6 figure people ... I know for sure no one has ever looked at my transcripts. I've had up to 120 reports, and I've never checked anyone else's either (oh, and I'm a "knowledge worker"). HR confirms they went to whatever school they say, I don't know anyone that looks at anything else.
I tend to look at someone's work accomplishments, skill, and the ability to lead teams. Most school work is irrelevant to the real workplace. The magna cum laude that can't relate to co-workers is worthless in the real world. (I've only met one person that put that on their resume ...)
On the stress issue - I'm not a big believer in jumping in head first. Look at each project and decide what happens if you fail, or don't complete it. That creates backup plans, the backup plans create a comfort zone ... they also help you prioritize.
