"They're nothing special"
Actually they are; they need to be strength class 12.9. Metric socket head cap screws (bolts) are also made in lesser strength grades (10.9) which are not adequate for this application. CV joint screws should have a 12.9 mark on the head.
If the CV joint screws are in good condition (not corroded and the wrenching features unmarred) then the bolts may be reused. Always replace the Schnorr lockwashers.
