Our climber sounds quite similar. I might still like some improvements to it, but we we've put our hands into the bolts as they are spinning (1/4-20 socket heads are the leading edge) and it doesn't really hurt, even. Now if someone had long hair or loose jewelry it would be a problem, but those are problems with or without a climber.
