Pro Bolt makes titanium replacements. They aren't cheap, but definitely worth it.

They are M8 x 1.25 mm x 25mm.

DSE also makes some nice aluminum covers that really clean-up the area around the x-brace bolts.

I tried the titanium bolts. If you plan on removing the brace multiple times they are not the right choice. I have carbon fiber engine covers and remove the brace to remove the covers just to ensure I do not scratch the covers. The problem is the small physical size of the bolt head leads to stripping/rounding the head. If you do not plan on the braces coming off multiple times they should work fine,

The trick is to find some thinker washer to go with them.
