What? Your drilling into the aluminum, which is a fairly soft metal. Grade 8 are the bolts/studs that you would use.. those have nothing to do with the quality of the aluminum.
Just drill the holes yourself to the next size up (whatever provides you with a smooth surface, measure the depth and height of the hole, and go to brafasco and pick up some grade 8 coarse bolts or studs, your choice.
Then use a coarse tap and tap away.
You would have a mount thats just as strong as new.
