No, don't go stainless -- you'll probably end up with galling
or corrosion problems.
get some copper-based "never-seize" and rub that on the thread
of a regular grade 5 bolt.
That is *all* you need to do...

Once the stud is removed, perhaps a perventive measure would be
to go back with stainless studs.
Think i seen these offered from mini mania, or maybe
peter can fix you up with some.
My guess is that Ole Frank has got the answer.
