As long as they are the correct diameter for the holes & aren't chafed my inclination would be to replace the nuts only (assuming they are
self-locking). Bolts should be 8.8 or higher so shouldn't stress fracture.
No doubt someone else will confirm or otherwise.
Cheers, Pewe

Cap head usually means higher grade - is it 12.9?

Cap heads are usually 10.9 or 12.9 where I get bolts from.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
