I have a solution for you, but if you've already purchased the Clamp-On Nautic system, part # RR570, there's no good way to replace the security bolts and it still fit correctly on your Thule bars.
However, the C-Channel Nautic, part # RR580 does fit in the channels of the Thule AeroBlade, and uses optional locking covers over a hand knob to tighten the carrier into the channel. You can leave the carrier's cover off for easy access to the hand knob, and quickly move the carrier left and... view full answer...

The area being trimmed is 3-1/4 inches across and 5 inches deep/tall. I have included a picture from the instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24956 showing this.

In researching the installation instructions for the Crut Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11457, you will need to trim a 4-1/2 inch long and a 2-1/4 inch wide slot on the under side of your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV's bumper fascia.
The exact instructions from Curt are as followed:
"Mark out a 2.25" x 4.5" section using masking tape. Trim lower fascia using aviation shears.

To install the Curt Powered Taillight Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 on your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV you will need to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2992. You will want to probe the wires while different light functions are activated so that you can properly wire the harness.

Thank you for your purchase of Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24956 and Curt 4-pole wiring harness # C59236, both of which are confirmed fits on your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV.
This wiring harness is a powered/hardwired type that requires a single wire to be run to the battery along with the spliced connections required for the input signals from the car.
