Would a stripped connecting rod bolt cause low oil pressure?
I'm thinking yeah. I rebuilt my 4.0 jeep engine, and I could not figure out why, when I start my truck, it gives good oil pressure at first, then when it warms up, the oil pressure drops to -0-. I was re-tightening my connecting rod bolts, to make sure they were all torqued the right ft.lbs. when I discovered one of the connecting rod bolts were stripped, not giving the proper torque. Would this explain the -0- oil pressure?

It shouldn't cause that but you are running on borrowed time before the engine blows and completely trashes its self. Why in gods name would you put it back together knowing it had a stripped stud. That would have been an easy fix. You just went through a to of work and a lot of money for nothing.

Kenny is correct. Are you running the engine with that stripped rod bolt? I sure hope not! If so, it WILL break and probably kick the rod out of the side of the block.

would lower pressure but not to zero. The fact that you're not hearing rod banging it does not explain the zero oil pressure.
