I noticed that 5 out of the 10 bolts have stripped threads and can't be torqued down..

Anyone tried using Loctite thread locker or similar?

It's just a small hole with 11NM torque, so I though a simple fix like this might work..

Just use a 1/4-20 bolt instead. It's just big enough that it will grip again. I've done this for multiple things where I've stripped bolts with no issue.

What's the size of the stock one?

You mean use a beefier bolt? It's fine for aluminum?

I believe the stock size is an M6, which is .2358 inches. A 1/4-20 would be .25 inches. Yes it'll be fine, just dont overtighten it.
