FAKE BOLT HEADS
Buy Nylon bolts (McMaster-Carr pg 2999) and cut the threads off. It is $10 for a package of 100 bolts on average.
---------
Could you just hot-glue nuts of the appropriate size to the intended surface, then fill the threaded opening with joint compound or something similar.
----------
You can buy hex plastic rod and slice it up too, sizes you indicated are available and cost effective. If you were using really large "bolts", say to join "steel"(wood) I beams, you could shape your own wooden hex rod on the table saw.
----------
I took a piece of 1x1, ripped it to a hexagonal cross section, then cross cut pieces on the band saw. It took about a half hour and looked great on stage.
