This should give the bolt holes a reasonable cleanout. a very thin, small diameter cutoff wheel on a die grinder works as well for this.

A brand and part number would be awesome. Thanks For stuff like this, I use a small round wire brush made for cleaning female copper pipe before soldering and then blow out the hole with air. That way no worry about damaging the threads.
