just drill out the embedded studs and use a nut/bolt/washer combination instead. way more reliable, way more clamping force, proper torque.

Subject: [Honda-C70] HELP - A disaster with Carb
I was having some acceleration issues. Was told I needed to install the gasket next to the insulator. Did that, and popping did not go away. Fiddled with needle length, adjusted both air and idle screws to the point it was totally messed up. Then I tightened the carb too tight and have stripped the bolt.
Ugh. Do I need a new carb? Why is there a pronounced "popping" when I try and accelerate? I have searched for air leaks to no avail.
Bike sits in garage, wanted to ride.....any advice is welcomed. It is a DRATV carb. I can get it to idle and top speed great, it is that middle section that is a mess, and now it is stripped and I can not tighten onto the manifold.
