Triangulated shanks are the way to go in my opinion. I'll be setting up my mill to cut some for a race engine build in a few weeks. Here's the cross section layout for a 3/8" bolt/stud (below). Its a shame because I used to be able to just buy these ready made - can't find them anywhere now.
What would you sell a set to members of the Forum? Running a few sets off after you set up the mill should be cost effective for you and members. Put me down for a set. Perhaps some others will join in .... the more the better for all.

I'll keep you in mind. It could will a couple months. I'll think it over when the time comes and determine how much I would have to charge. I'm not sure I want to get into this because I only have a manual mill (not CNC). But its possible someone else could make them for me. It depends on if its cost effective and I'm already buried in work/projects. Right now I'm only making them for a couple top end race motors that I'm involved in.
