Most rotor cases are weak, soft, cast materials. I can't
imagine a quality stainless bolt galling or breaking before
the rotor housing fails.
It happened to several of mine....Hy-Gain bolts froze right up.  I have never 
had it happen to any of them after applying NoAlox.

The HD 73 stainless bolts have a tendancy to do the same thing.  Not the ones 
on the bottom, but the ones which hold the two sleeves which go around the 
mast.  I have used NoAlox on those and the problem has never repeated.
