Same happened to me, I reused the threaded ends and it's fine, but I think getting some nuts and lock washers and cleaning and lubricating the bolts would have been better.

Ya i think ill just get some grade 8 nuts and bolts roughly the same length and just locktight them in, just hopefully the middle bolts come out and still have thread because you cant get a nut up there , theres no hole to fit ur hand like the bottom ones

If I remember correctly the job gets a little easier if you take the grill off- 6 or 8 screws I think
