1930 Roadster the lower stanchion post bolt 3/8 NF threads stripped and will not hold the wing nut tight. The outer threads are stripped, the threads further back are Ok. Is it possible to double nut the remaining threads and remove the bolt?

I am hoping I can get it out and replace it with a new bolt that I remove the head from. If I can get the replacement into the stanchion I would use some thread locker to keep it there.

I am trying to do this so I do not have to repaint the stanchion or replace the whole stanchion and paint it.

Thoughts? Thanks guys.
