No anchor roller? It's not a perfect sprit but many of us use it. Another option is to use the plastic cup hook from ATN. I think that is the only best option if your tack attachment has to go aft of the headstay/furler.
https://www.atninc.com/atn-tacker-sailing-equipment.shtml The very best bet is to get the tack way out in front. With a narrow slot between the head stay and spin luff you'll have only the option to jibe outside. I think it is easier to do inside jibes if you have a large enough slot. As for reusing stem fasteners (if you accept a narrow slot and forego an anchor roller or bow sprit). I like the idea. Make sure that they are already large enough diameter. I'm thinking 3/8ths. When you buy the eyebolt make sure that it is a shoulder eye.
