Thanks for the feedback! As that sounded like more work than I felt like doing, I ended up finding these at Lowe's.

The only toggle bolt I could find that calls for 1/2" hole, and it has a built in plug to stabilize it in the hole. It ended up working really well because the bolt was just barely big enough for the key hole on the back of my hanger, so I pressed it onto the bolt then used the hanger itself like a screwdriver to drag the bolt and tighten it into place. It's actually more stable and less toggle-y than my other hangers (yeah, since keyhole hangers suck really bad, especially since you can't tighten the screw in the usual way after installing, but I'll blame my wife for the choice). I kind of want to just do this with the other 5 hangers to be honest, I'm surprised at how well it worked.
Glad you got a solution that works for you.
