I guess this is a cultural idiom because "tread carefully" is a common phrase in British English at least. For example: Investors need to tread carefully, as irrational exuberance has a habit of eclipsing common sense in the world of tech.

I think the meaning is a bit different, - "thread" is about building something on top of this, the base might be not very stable. Sure thing this change might be omitted.
