FYI, I had also originally planned on pulling the bolts once per year but after coating them virtually the same as you and pulling them to inspect after 1 year, I now just check them every 2 years. Even at 2 years they're virtually untouched.
It's your call but I figured I'd give my input to save you some hassle as your roads are similarly coated in brine for 4 months of the year like ours are.

Replaced bolts
I was able to get the bolts on my Yaris replaced. The passenger side came out without breaking. I wasn't so lucky with the driver's side.
The attached images are the driver's side bolt from a 2008 Yaris Hatchback after 10 years and 70K kms. The new ones have been installed with lithium grease.. should last longer! |

Yup, looks bad. I needed to drop the subframe and then heat up the bolt bolt with a propane torch. Once heated, I used a good pair of vise grips and was able to remove the bolt.
The most difficult part of this procedure was getting the control arm bushing to release the bolt since the bolt was rusted solid to the bushing sleeve. |

Warning - Broken control arm bolt! subframe Mind of Toyota
I think this may happen because Toyota skipped a drain hole(s) somewhere. I did an oil change in dry conditions a day after I'd washed the car or there had been a rain event. Car on a lawn sloping somewhat nose down. Drove front wheels up on low ramps to level for oil change. Some time passed in steps of the oil change. And here's water dripping from that subframe area! (pretty sure I checked to see that it wasn't coming from the rubber HVAC tube)

Now on any car I own I pull the control arm bolts and antiseize the whole thing so it never seized to the bushing sleeve. Takes some time but saves hours down the road

I torched the bushing sleeve a number of times, so the heating and cooling process along with alot of hammering on the bushing sleeve helped to release it from the bolt. |

Right click on the image.
Select "Copy" Open Paint program Select "New" press Ctrl + V Save file and copy it to your phone or tablet. Show it to your mechanic and let him revel in the destruction. |

We bought a '10 LB a couple of weeks ago with 126k on it. The 1st thing I did was change the oil to some M1 High Mileage 5/30. The 2nd thing I did while it was on the ramps was to check these infamous bolts. I was very nervous putting the breaker bar on them. Thankfully they both came out with out any drama. Despite water dripping from the passenger side hole when the bolt was removed, both bolts looked great. I lathered them completely in antiseize as well as the holes and reinstalled them.
I'm way out of warranty and on my own. So checking these will be part of my regular maintenance

Well I ordered the bolts.
Toyota argued with me about the part number and how they are non-returnable. Apparently 90119-14126 was superseded by 90119-14144 and 90119-14151 wouldn't match up for him, he basically talked me into getting the 14144 bolts. I pulled mine out, the drivers was pretty loose. I then dipped the new bolts in marine grease from top to bottom and made sure they were really gooped up with excessive amounts of grease and put them in. My car has under 45,000KM on it so they were not bad. The bolts were $26 CAD for both. I cranked the wheel to one side and layed beside the car to get them out without lifting it. I wanted the garage to just inspect mine while getting a wheel alignment next week but decided to just replace them myself first. The new ones only had 1 mark compared to 2 on the original.

those are in decent shape, keep them as spares just in case
the marine grease has worked well for me and I now only check them every couple of years as the water seems to keep away from the marine grease really well
