FWIW The bolts on our pedestal are 1/2" aluminum I believe, 6" long with aluminum washers and nuts. The foot is far enough from the compass, SS should be fine. The stainless cable is closer to the compass. Just use the biggest bolts that will fit, and add lanacote to keep SS from fusing to the aluminum foot. Don't forget caulking with polysulfide or 4200.

I know some SS is non magnetic, but IKEA sells SS knife boards for your SS kitchen knives….
