But seriously, is it that hard to just add one more non-cim standoff? Two standoffs can hold your box together when swapping cims. In that situation, having through bolts to your cims is wise because it becomes easy to remove and add cims.
Sure, it isn't "hard". But why add any extra complexity to deal with a very rare case? Sure, you have a box of dead CIMs - but would the average 6-CIM team also have as many? Why not deal with it by ensuring less stress on the CIMs to begin with, which reduces complexity and increases reliability?
