I’d be curious to hear from our resident pilots on this one regarding if there are certain allowances for X number of bolts to be missing while retaining integrity of that part of the plane etc. …

Not a pilot, but yes, there is margin for a fastening surface. That’s for an emergency, not because the ground crew went to lunch and forgot to placekeep where they were in the reassembly steps.
