The standard 8mm bolt has a head of 5,5mm if I remember correctly, while the allen head is about 8-9mm. Of course one could grind down a bit, but I think the solution with the land-rover bolts will be the best, leaving a large contact area and a small socket.
Curious about the height of them, but I can mill a bit deeper into the cam gear I think.

In retrospect- get them riveted! This is how Schleicher does it as I found out later, a manufacturer of performance 4-bolt cams.
