headsets do not have bolts.

if your bearings in your threadless headset are loose and falling all over the place, you need to purchase new bearings, if not a new headset. Have a shop look at it since you dont know what the hell is going on and seem unwilling to read up on the subject.

I also recommend punching the guy you just bought the bike from in the face. He dicked you over.
Not all threadless headsets have cartridge bearings. I have 3, 1 Campagnolo, 2 generic headsets that use loose balls or caged balls.
