Mixing steel chainring bolts with alu chainrings...

I needed a new set of chainring bolts for my standard Sram Force crankset. Local shop only had chrome plated steel bolts, which was fine with me since standard alu chainring bolts tend to strip easily.

However, I'm concerned about contact corrosion (or galvanic reaction) between the two dissimilar metals. Does anyone have experience using steel bolts with aluminum chainrings?
