Only a small bolt holding down the bracket.

They make a stud for that too, and that stud is fiddly to get the bracket over. I'm moving the caliper studs over, but still debating on moving those bracket studs

You guys must have some bad luck. I've taken off and reinstalled somewhere around 200 of those caliper bracket bolts. I never had any cross thread. I'd probably just drill and tap a new bolt if I did cross thread one.

I think the problem comes up when you get to a certain number of cycles (brake changes) on a set of aluminum alloy tapped holes. If you are rushing this at the track and working with dirty threads then the probability goes up.
