Yeah, but I'd do what dsbrantjr suggests and get a stainless allen headed bolt (the non technical term for a socket headed cap screw). If you do that and put some anti-electrolysis teflon paste on it it won't corrode into the stand. Electrolysis is the reaction between the aluminium of the stand and the metal of the bolt. This is why the last bolt got stuck too, the aluminium reacted and expanded jamming the bolt in nice and tight. Bolt shops will sell the paste, if they are nice they may even smear a bit on the bolt for you, otherwise it's handy to have if you have an aluminium frame.
