As another point of reference, 1519 used standard (grade 3) bolts on their 2005 robot for the non-drive wheels and had problems with the axles becoming bent. (We never did get around to switching the grade 3 bolts out for grade 8 bolts, primarily because we had added about 0.75" of thread by hand and didn't want to do that on grade 8 bolts!)
I would think that 3/8" grade 8 bolts would work fine for most FRC robot drive axles.
