Is the blot hole striped, and just wont stay tight. If so I would retap the hole with a bigger bolt.

The Alternator pully is worn. I would chew through a new belt in a week or less. Went to Mazda and ordered the pully, which is really two half washers. Changed and no problems for the rest of the summer.
