What a fucker.

I think we put bolts down from the top and welded the heads, leaving a pair of studs.

I then use M10 locknuts to hold the cross member on.

cheers mate so will it still need drilling?

Happened to me and all i did is remove the carpet on the passenger side and there will be a vent in the bulk head, if you cut that away you can get to the stripped bolt there.

I welded in some new M10 bolts

We didnt even do that. From memory, we used a round punch to recess the area around the threaded hole, then we managed to wind the bolts through what was left of the thread (from the little access hole in the bulkhead/engine bay before dropping a weld into the recess.

No!! It wasn't that bad to do to be honest. I shat myself when it first happened and imagined having to cut bits out of the chassis etc!!
