Chainring "bolts" barely qualify as bolts anyway, they are really flanged dowel pins with a coaxial retaining screw.

And the only way to make the stick is to force the retaining end into the crank...otherwise they just spin and there's no way you can properly hold on with the little fork tool I find.
Not the best system. Would be OK if you could hold on to the retaining end better.

Here's a bolt story for you: Le Manfriend found pissweak tiny alu bolts on a fan housing.
After the initial WTF he thought that perhaps they were meant to be weak. After all if somebody overtorques things you want them to destroy two tiny bolts...not threads on steel housing that's welded to something.
On my cranks they can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> though :)
