One thing I did with mine after they broke and I spent a whole Saturday
fishing them out was to replace them with a metric stud and metric nylon
lock nuts. I have not had any problems since then.

Tim and Dave Otis are right about getting those damn bolts out. Also, if
you can preserve the threads and you still have some bolt shreads in the
hole use a dental pick to get the remaining shreads of metal out. Bob
