To round out the inside of the T50 bolt.

Isn't that the truth?
If you strip one, just drill it out till the head breaks off. The bolt has no purpose but to hold the rotor on while going down the assembly line.

Problem with the "spring clip" that you mention, is that most US cars have lug studs in the rotor hubs to attach the lug nuts to.......the Mini uses "lug bolts" per say.....there would be nothing to put the spring clip on to hold the rotor from falling off
