If you can get a replacement stud, then sure, tap it and swap them.

lol I stripped the threads on my lim where the uim bolt tightens into it , the center one of the 5... I could retap it but I would need a bigger bolt.... I have a feeling that might be hard to find...

No, using a torque wrench will prevent you from over-tightening bolts to the point where they shear off.
