you could if you go down to m2 10.9 or 8.8 steel bolts will hold. the problem is the threads will probably get caked in/rust and seize during future disassembly; same for m3 though

else circlips like everyone else does (i hate assembling these things though lol)

i actually love your idea of using the pad to clamp the pin from both sides....
