Stripped (non-functional) Beam bolt holes.

[jmd]

Hey fella's, not sure where to put pan related issues.
I am trying to install my new adjustable front beam with lower beam shims (doubled up) and longer beam bolts.

|---O top tube (stripped / hanging bolts)
|-((O bottom tube w/ 2 shims.

The issue I am having is one of the (Top Left) beam bolts seems to just sit and spin about half way in... not allowing me to actually bolt the thing together?

Anyone have this happen?
What do you do?

I have cleaned it, rethreaded the original bolt only to have it stall as well... do I need to drill these all out and put some type of sleeve in or something?

It seems like it would suck bad to have to replace a pan head as a result of stripped bolts or whatever?

please advise.
thanks for any insights.
