Beam bolts siezing and threads stipping are not a Nacra thing. I have owned plenty of Hobies that have done the same thing. The real issue is not the material being used but assembly of said material. As already mentioned lubrication is your friend. The heli coil is the way to fix this issue. Cutting a hull in the deck in my opinion is always the hail mary last resort option.
