stress is force divided by area. If you have a force of 10 acting over area 1 stress is 10 ; if area is 2 stress is 5, etc. Force has units of pounds or newtons and stress is pounds per square inch or newtons per square meter

What is the tensile strength of .375 bolt?

Tensile strength is a material propery, it does not depend on size. Look at a material chart to find its yield and tensile strenghts. Then use the stress equation, Stress = Force / Area to determine if your .375 bolt can handle the force on it. If your bolt is in shear, you need to find Shear strenghts.
