    How would a new bolt head improve over what you have now?

    As for the question of the threads "taking a beating" I'd suggest that the distribution of load over a dozen or more threads is far greater and the loading therefore much less than over the shoulders at the mating faces of the bolthead and bolt body.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
