That statement, if it was made by someone in the know at Malibu, is pure B.S., a blatant attempt to shift the blame. if the bolts are stripping out then they are using too soft of a metal, or too small of a screw. If the bolt is breaking then they either need a larger bolt or higher grade steel, or more of them.
