I stripped my front caliper bolt too I have bonded pads and shoes, and no problems with mine. I was gonna go with ceramics, but they are waaay to expensive
ceramics have less brake dust to them, but IMO they wear a hell of a lot quicker, and make sure you put never sieze on the caliper bolts and caliper gooves where the caliper slides against the steering knuckle
