Seriously, if you resort to this, it would be polite to tell any
mechanics that you give this to that you've done this, in the case
that they need to be removed. I think replacing the bolts with Torx
headed bolts is a much better solution, in that most people aren't
going to carry those around & then spend time taking off your
aerobars. Hell, hex-head bolts are probably a safe enough bet. Unless
you're locking your bike up outside overnight; in that case, all bets
are off, and you'll probably lose something on your bike if you do
that long enough.
