Stripped Bolt!

Okay, This weekend, I was changing out handlebars and moving my syntace C2 aerobars to my new set up. When I went to loosen the bolt on the underside (which holds the bars on the base bar), the bolt popped and spun freely. After loosening the other side, it just fell out of the threads. Now, it won't tighten, as it just spins. Does anyone know Syntace's warranty policy? I have had these for a little over a year, and do not have my original proof of purchase. Will they replace them, or help me out? Is there any way to fix this problem? I am at a loss.....
Thanks for any help.

If warranty is a no-go, you could drill out and tap for the next size larger bolt. I haven't seen the exact bars you are talking about, but that works on just about anything. If you don't want to DIY a machine shop shouldn't want an arm and a leg for it.
