The top hole in the front strut is not round due to the odd oversize camber bolt, so a smaller head aftermarket bolt will not have the grip/bite that the stock one does. I would agree replacing that one would be sketchy.

Um... aftermarket camber bolts usually come with heavy duty washers... they should actually have more surface area than the stock bolts do on either side of the strut wing. Unless the bolt itself is weak, you should be able to get plenty of clamping force on them to keep the strut from slipping. And even then, a slip results in a bad alignment... not the wheel flying off.
I'm at a loss to how a properly engineered camber bolt is "sketchy" on the front struts yet the same bolt on the rear is just fine.
