Vis mugen hardtop bolt holes stripped

So on each side one of the bolt-holes of my vis mugen hardtop are stripped. Any suggestions?

don't overtorque for starters.

maybe a wee bit thicker bolt with coarser threads could grab in there?

Unfortunately for me I got this as a hand me down. The top is in great shape except for the stripped spinner.

What bolt size do you recommend. If not I'm taking it to down to a upholstery shop.

What do you do when its not the bolt that is stripped and spinning but the rivet is spinning and will not let you tighten the bolt?
