Are you talkin about the bolts that hold the seat to the frame of the car? If so, last time that happened to me, i re-tapped it accept a bigger bolt.

Well if you can find one good oem bolt and go slow you might be able to retap it that way if its not too stripped. If not the kit should do the trick.
