David, we got two different thing going on here. Could you possibly use a 10-32 rivet-nut to repair your striped threads in your sanctions. They work great in a blind situation where you can't get a nut on the back.

I don't know if these are available in the 10-32 size, but repairing thread with heli-coil might also be an option if the stanchion is stripped. If you're luck, it's the lift a dot posts that just need replacing. Remove the old ones and see what's going on with the threads.
