If by butterfly bolt you are referring to a cheap spring loaded toggle bolt from the hardware store that you drill a huge hole in the floor so you can cram it through it and then screw in the long screw I would suggest that not be plan A. In fact the thought of it being plan Z creeps me out. But that might just be me. One of the few things you can use from the hardware store would be a wood nut. These either have a ring around them with three or so spikes on them that you can then tap them in with a hammer or some styles you screw them in. But the wood screw should do the trick. If the hole in the floor board is buggered up and the screws are already to much over sized you can fill in the hole with some kind of wood repair compound and drill a new one.
