I guess you could glue on on the end of the bolt but I'd rather have one purpose built/pressed into the end of the bolt.

I mean just put some on the pan itself, they are so damn strong that they won't move, and they can accept a LOT of material. (I guess that theoretically if you do a fluid drain that it won't let the gunk out, but if that's really a fear, just leave the magnet there forever? Or take the magnet off, go for a 30 second drive, to kick the shít up, then drain it?)
Personally I put 2 HD magnets on my oil filter, I don't open them after (although I should) but it gives me piece of mind, AND they're free
