Looking at your attached picture makes the problem of bolt failure fairly obvious - all the side load is taken at an angle on the bolts unless the bead is totally crushed and the outer ring seated flat on the inner. I expect if you continue to use these you will continue to get failures. Have you considered the inflatable type that go inside your tyre? You only need an extra hole in the rim for the second valve and you can run your air way down - a lot of rock crawlers use these in Oz - no extra bolts sticking out to get broken on rocks. Obviously no bling, but if that's what you are after????
