I would agree with your feedback above. That's why I used alloy steel screws with a corrosion resistant protective covering. Similar to those used in marine applications.

'Metric Socket Head Cap Screws - Corrosion Resistant; Type: Metric Socket Head Cap Screws; Thread Size: M5x0.8; Length Under Head: 16.0000 mm; Material: Alloy Steel; Key Size: 4.000 mm; Finish/Coating: Blue Polymer.'
Agreed, here is the torque settings for the aluminum ones, also applies to the Stainless steel of course.
