What size is the hole? Tap it out to a grade 8 fine pitch thread. One the bolt is tight torque a nut on and peen it or use super red locktight. 

There is some math that can be done to find the optimal bolt size with the required torque to mate two pieces of steel  of "x" thickness. I sort of remember the lecture in college but not the the formula or what it was called.
