handlebar problem

i'm starting to do crossover rolling stoppies and i noticed that my handlebars are getting pressed down from my weight. i'm worried that they're going to get stripped out in the triple. i've cranked down the bolts on the cheap *** Pit Posse triple clamps (they're fu(king junk parts) but it still happens. should i :

a) replace the cheap *** triple with a quality one
b) drill a hole into the top clamp through the bars and lock them in place with a
bolt
c) lose a crap load of weight cause i'm a fat ***

WELL IF THEY ARE JUNK YOU CAN DO B IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON RESELLING IT WHICH IF IT'S JUNK I WOULDN'T.

THAT SHOULD WORK IF YOU DRILL A HOLE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE TOP OF THE CLAMP AND THROUGH THE BARS AND THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE CLAMP.

PEACE
