Default header bolt

On the drivers side one of the header bolts keeps coming out it looks to still be in good condition should I get those locking header bolts?

no my best guess why would be that the headers are rubbing ( and have rubbed a hole ) on the stearing column ( it was like that when I got it lol ) I will be taking that side off and shortining the header and patching the hole. I figured I might as well see if the lock header bolts were worth a dam
