Loctite certainly won't hurt. But you should also be able to peen them over
with a punch and BFH. I forget the term for the type of punch, but the angle
at the tip is less sharp than a center punch. Make a circle of dimples around
the outside edge of the stud, just inside the threads.
You used to be able to buy fully threaded studs that would screw in from the
back; but I couldn't find them last time I looked. Moroso doesn't make the old
part number any more.
