I used Urethane adhesive to replace my bolts. Grind the old stud and plate from the fascia until you get to the flat mounting surface. A little roughness will help with adhesion. Imbed the flat plate in the urethane adhesive and let cure. I put it on the to and bottom totally covering the plate. When you install the fascia, cover the exposed stud and nut in grease or a heavy wax to prevent rust. Reapply periodically. Personally, I recommend greasing/waxing all the bolts under the car to help prevent rust and make it easier to remove should the need arise. Many of the bolts are small diameter and break easy if rusted. Urethane adhesive is what they use to install windows and comes in a caulking tube. It is about $12 and is easy to work with other than being messy.
