where would i get wobble bolts from?

same here, fitted just as if they were 4x100, but if I wore them more often I'd fit spigot rings just to take the majority of the weight off the studs,just in case
The studs take none of the weight, neither do the spigot rings, thats why they are mainly made of plastic! It is the friction between the wheel and hub mounting faces that support the car, the studs are there to provide the tension to apply that force, and the spigot rings are there to centre the wheel when fitted. The studs are designed to take a loading in tension, any shear force acting on them (for example bending them all out from the centre by 0.8mm) can seriously weaken them.
Mini's are 4x4" (4x101.6), Micras are 4x100. Make a metal sleave to fit over a metal bar, but make the sleave 1.6mm too small, you'll get an idea of how "big" 1.6mm really is.
Having said that no kittens or nuns or school girls have been killed yet because because the studs on someones micra let go and they ploughed into a bus queue. I'm not saying it will, or won't happen it's just from an engineering point of view its not ideal to go forcing studs into a different PCD, no matter how close you think they are.
4x4" Wheels (and 4x98 for that matter) with a taper seat can be fitted with PCD correction (wobble) nuts, provided there is centre location to centre the wheel as the bolts are tightened. Wheels with a sleave nut style fixing could possibly have the hole opened up to give the sleave some play to take up the difference (essentially making it a wobble nut) again centre location would be needed.

yeah i think they are, just different centre bore if im right lol
also the micras wheel fitment is lugcentric just bare that in mind
ive had mini fitment wellers on both of my micra's without spigot rings or wobble bolts 
but for cheaper wobble bolts:
