Stainless steel is not particularly stronger that ordinary steel.
It's just stainless. If you want stronger then you need grade 5 or
grade 7 bolts.

What he said.

It's a common misconception that "stainless" is stronger than regular steel.

To the contrary. There are many grades of steel that are much stronger than
the common 304, 316 series of stainless.
In fact, the stainless will be more ducal and softer.
