Can I drop a bolt in to stop rotating handlebars?

I have a set of ape-hangers on my fun bike, and a similar problem to the poster's.
If I yank hard when biking, like climbing a hill, the bars will move. I know, you don't like ape-hangers, but I'm reliving my pre-teen years.
I've tried tightening, over-tightening, and pounded out a beer can as an extra shim.
I think I'm going to drill a hole and drop a bolt in. I suspect this might be a bad idea in a fall or crash, but IDK.
Any thoughts or advice?
