Jayco used ST screws with drill point tips. I've found them through the chassis of our Ford E450. Once IN, they break off at any attempt to back OUT. They must have spun them in with an air tool going about a million RPM.
Most of them do it this way. Those bolts may loosen but it's a royal pain to take it out. You have to keep on pulling it out, rotating at the same time. Had to remove and put back in about 30 of them recently, when doing cleaning and repair of plastic sheets of trailer belly.
Mex - are you suggesting driving threaded bolt with tooth lock washer into the old threaded hole?
