It's a trick we learned when we did the tractor (see my signature link if your interested in seeing us do something besides trucks). We painted all the components and hardware separately and then had to assemble it without scratching the paint on the bolt heads. Same thing here. Door jambs, bolt heads, and hinges were painted separately. To assemble, we put a ziplock bag (or a piece of one) in the socket or over the bolt head when tightening. It's not a 100% protection...especially at higher torque values...but it's pretty effective at minimizing the damage. In the case of the hinge bolts it worked perfectly.
