Have done that with the outer cylinder head bolts on my street rod when I needed a lower profile head to clear my headers. Also for the stud I replaced the bolt with when I installed my catch can etc etc.Take out a good one and go to an ACE hardware etc! In our small town ACE has metric bolts of every size and length. Note there are three not two thread fineness sizes in metric. Just find a nut that fits and get the correct length bolt. Your screwing into aluminum and don't need grade 8 bolts but our local ACE has those and often stainless.
PS: Just checked the Service Manual and those bolts are only torqued to 88 inch-lbs. That is only 7 ft-lbs and a ft-lb wrench would not work well for that low a torque! I also see the bolt has a long shoulder but a shorter shoulder would work as long as the length is correct.
