Grind a beveled end into the bolt (not a sharp point just a taper). This will hold the bushing without misshaping it or penetrating to the shaft. There shouldn't be enough friction on the guide to pull the bushing out anyway and if there is then there is a flaw in the design that is applying lateral force.
Another option if you have the equipment is to simply run a slot up one side of the tube and use U bolts to clamp the tube onto the bushings. This is probably what I would do.
