I did it. Throw the stones.

I bought a "shitty" stand. I read forum after forum and only saw one negative. A guy said the bolts stipped out. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he over tightened the bolts. Aluminum thread VS steel threads; steel wins. I was going to drill out the threads and install some Time-Serts but I don't believe there is enough room. So I'm going to drill out the threads, insert some steel sleeves, use longer bolts, and add nuts to the bottom.

Seems like 8mm spools work best. Mine are sliders too so they're big.
