Is there a better bolt than what MB dealer has? Something with a deeper head? There is nothing over it, so no heed to be so shallow.

Would a gasket around the edge have been such a bad idea?

TIA
I just bought two hex cap screws at home depot. I think they were M6X25. The weakness in the M-B bolt is the head and if you don't have high quality torx bits and clean the old bolt heads out really carefully to fully seat them they strip...replace them and all is well.
