Depending on the size you might be better off drilling it out and installing a helicoil to give you a nice steel thread...
Otherwise I might be able to make custom steel ones out of 1018.... Or atleast steel bushings to prevent them from stripping
no need, the torque needed isn't much, and you always loctite the thread anyway...
