X5 oil pan gasket , is there a better way ?

07 3.0 n52 , almost half of the oil pan bolts are broken , had to drill out more than 10 bolts. Have new set of bolts and new gasket but thinking is it worth it to follow ridiculous German “engineering” or put pan back without gasket and use let say epoxy, gasket maker , side bolts may not align .... any idea ? Anyone done it better than it was slapped together at the factory ?
Anyone used regular bolts instead of aluminum? Thanks
