With the junk in the threads and having to hold up he skid plate, it is hard to get the bolts started, thus they get cross threaded easily. Once the internal threads are torn up, the only good solution is to install some Timeserts: ++ TIME-SERT Official Threaded inserts for stripped threads, blown out sparkplugs,

That is why I like anomalous idea to replace the bolts with studs/nuts. Easier to hold up the skid plate while starting the nuts.
