I am going to go with Lance's suggestion of the "donut". A stout piece of metal to protect and deflect nasty rocks sounds like the best way to go.
A donut or a small skid in front of the bolts sounds like the right approach. The donut might have to be trimmed to fit the bends of the front skid and it's short end after the bolt holes, but someone could make it work.

After my next oil change I'm taking the skid off and working with the shop that reworked my bumper to see what they can do.
