Ok, here is how the story of the stripped bolt hole ends. I sent the attached picture to SS customer service, and they sent it to their manufacturing people to decide what to do. They called a little over a week later to say that they would send me a whole new table, and I would need to send the old one back to them. By the time I got that call, however, I had gotten impatient and followed Dusty's advice, tapping my own holes and installing 1/4" wing bolts, which seems like a better idea anyway. So I told the nice SS customer service lady that I had already taken care of it, and she said "Ok, have a nice day." The end.
