From the look of the bolts, I would first try to work with what you have.
Figure out what the thread size is and buy a flat bottom tap to clean out the existing threads. They may or may not be any good, but I bet there is enough metal there that a tap will give you enough to hold onto.
Buy new, American Made bolts in Grade 8 of the same length. If this is something that you don't expect to take off again, use red Loctite. If you think you'll have to remove the bolts in the future, use blue Loctite.
If this fails you, then you can work your way up to the next stage.
