I tend to only use stainless nuts/bolts on things that don't require a specific torque (such as the bumpers, slam panels etc).

A high tensile bolt needs a high tensile nut.

Worth checking the hub itself. If the car has been driven a fair bit with play between the hub clamp and balljoint then the hub will wear, and no amount of tightening the nut and pinch bolt will work.
