What does the Boeing design guide say about using Titanium in contact with cadmium?

Hi-Loks for RV-4 spar attach?
 
A good friend was flying his newly purchased RV-4 Fastback from Wyoming to Alberta when he lost his canopy at Cut Bank, MT. We drove down from Alberta with my trailer and removed the wings to haul it home. When I removed the NAS bolts at the center spar attach point, I could not get a socket on many of the bolt heads? It turned out that that bolts were hammered so hard when installed that the heads were smashed in. I have not examined the holes in the spars yet,but can't imagine them being very nice? Slightly oversize Hi-Loks with properly reamed holes might be a good fix??
