It is certainly possible that a damaged thread in the hub is in turn 
destroying the lugbolts. I'll need to take a closer look to be sure.

Here is a picture of the stripped bolt:

BTW, this is the correct hub, right?

I'm going to see if I can track one down over here first, but failing that I 
will need to look further afield, even though shipping could be quite 
expensive if it is really heavy.
