| Even the better grades of stainless are nowhere near as strong (in shear or tension) as the steel used in plated allen screws (Grade 12.9).
I'd bear this in mind when considering replacing any bolts.
I'd be wary of replacing caliper clamping bolts at the best of times, though. They will have been carefully torqued up to equal tightness.
