Is there an easy way to compare the shear strength of a magnetic wing
hold down with that of a nylon bolt without actually doing the physical
testing?

Two magnets will grip a lot stronger than a magnet and steel plate. If
the magnets are set up so that both poles are used (small horseshoe
type) then the grip will be very strong, possibly too strong. (If you
overdo it you may have problems pulling the wing off without damaging
something.)
Industrial magnets have a mechanism to pry the magnet away from what's
attracting it -- you only have to move it a short way to
significantely reduce the attraction.
