Exclamation Stripped strut tower bolts. Thread size and pitch?

Any body know what the thread size and pitch are for the bolts that come through the strut tower?

Going to try to put and die on them to hopefully save them, if not guess ill need to hunt down some replacements.

I went to take off the strut tower bar and noticed that it look liked somebody put a different pitch nut on the bolts and messed them up pretty bad.

IIRC they're M10x1.25. Typically a stud or bolt with that large of a diameter will take a 1.5 thread pitch, so it's all too common to see jacked up threads on these.
