You're fine. I believe Carl is referencing SS bolts found at your local hardware store. They generally have a pretty low UTS, about as strong as a Grade 2 bolt. The below link shows what is typically found at hardware stores, 70ksi tensile strength....

ARP, DSE body bolts, etc... are VERY strong. See the link below for McMaster-Carr 12-point stainless cap screws with 170ksi tensile strength.
