Default Has anybody enlarged the header bolt holes?

I'm tired of these 8mm header bolts. Every set of heads I buy have atleast half of the 8mm header bolt holes coiled. Coils hanging out a thread, or somehow the coil is rolled over and won't thread... The uncoiled holes barely have thread in them... I'm sick of it.

My question is: Is there any reason why I can't coil it to 9x1.25 or even 10x1.25/50. Is there enough meat to safely do this? Or do I need to fight with these old 8x1.25 coils and put new coils in the uncoiled holes...

Thanks

Any input would be appreciated. I got some 8x1.125 coils today but I'd still like to make the holes bigger if it's possible.
