<<Looks like I stripped the alternator bolt when I was adjusting the
belt--no wonder the belt loosened up again--
The alternator has only 6,000 mi on it (installed by PO)--and I hate to
replace it>>

Simple Fix.
Back the hole up with a flat washer and a nylock ( aircraft ) nut.
Run a longer bolt though the alternator.

That's all Folks.
