Drilling out a stripped bolt is a PITA...ask me how I know! I think the flat factory style bolt is used so the seat does not hit the bolt when adjusting. I have a roll bar installed so seat adjustment is limited and is not an issue. IIRC I don't think you can use a socket head bolt as the bolt is between the flanges of the seat rail.

What kind of bolts did you use as a replacement? I had to drill out 2 of them... and I am not done yet with the first seat.
The original bolt head do strip easy.
