Embellishing individual points is fine as long as the core substance is something you did and can talk about. The number one rule for bullet points is don't put something you can't speak about if asked about that bullet. I looked at thousands of student resumes on intern hiring days and every single person was the "Lead engineer" on the same group projects 😛
