If you replace the studs with bolts, the wear and tear you had on your studs will now be on......the engine block.
I'm not a mechanical engineer so I can't give you a precise figure, but the torque is spread between the nut/stud surface and the stud/block surface. Replacing with a bolt would transfer all the torque to the threads in the block. So it would fare even worse than the stud has.
