If they're getting stripped and your bolt is steel and your pan is aluminum I'd hate to see what your pan looks like.
Like Vu said, the bolts should last a really long time and if they're not then you need a recalibration of your arm
I have had the magnetic drain bolts on my 06 and now those same bolts are on my 07

I'd change the cabin filter, spark plugs and do the valve adjustment. I've seen some plugs look kinda bad at 50k. Doesn't hurt to change them early. Valve adjustments are different for everyone but 30k is recommended. Keep in mind, everyone drives their car differently.

I'm nearing 45k and I haven't done a maint check up yet. I've only done the oil change and stuff. What needs to be done at 45k miles? My 'Maint. Req' light is on and I just checked my oil and it's good. What else needs to be done?

Reset the reminder assuming you're within your oil change cycle and list what you've done. Oil change and stuff doesn't give enough info.
If you want to know exactly what is needed at 45k go to the dealer and they'll give you a print out.

You did a very nice job posting this but you are missing a ton of stuff for 6 years as well as stuff that should be done at 45k.
One important item is a brake fluid replacement at 6 years.

It is every 3 years and he gave the schedule for 6 years and left that out.
Brake fluid flush 3,6,9 etc.
If you're using something like Motul 5.1 or 600 it should be less than that.

I just don't want anyone misinformed, the dealership will easily and willingly print this information out for you.
