Bold font within pgfplotstable header row

Question

I like to have a definition within the pgfplotstable header row turning the header text to bold font face. Somethng like:

every head row/.style={before row={\toprule}, after row=\midrule, \textbf{#1}}

Unfourtunately all attempts failed.

\documentclass[varwidth=true, border=1mm, 11pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
\usepackage{silence}

\WarningFilter{latex}{File}
\begin{filecontents*}{load.csv}

\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[H]    
    \centering  
    \pgfplotstabletypeset[
    col sep   = semicolon,
    precision = 3,
    fixed zerofill,
    /pgf/number format/read comma as period,
    every head row/.style={before row={\toprule}, after row=\midrule},
    every last row/.style={after row=\bottomrule},
    display columns/0/.style={string type},
%   display columns/0/.style={string type, column name={\bf Nr.:}},
%   display columns/1/.style={column name={\bf One}},
%   display columns/2/.style={column name={\bf Two}},
%   display columns/3/.style={column name={\bf Three}},
%   display columns/4/.style={column name={\bf Four}},
%   display columns/5/.style={column name={\bf Five}},
%   display columns/6/.style={column name={\bf Six}}
    ]{load.csv}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Unlike in the commented section in the code above, i like it to be a definition that applies to the whole head row. This is important since i like to read CSV-files.

This is what i have now:

This is what i like to achieve:

Pgfplotstable header in bold or https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/76338/134144 might be interesting. — leandriis, Jun 18 '19 at 18:50

Taken from the documentation of Pgfplotstable section

/pgfplots/table/assign column name/.code={〈...〉}

simply add

    assign column name/.style={/pgfplots/table/column name={\textbf{#1}}}

to your \pgfplotstabletypeset.

Adding the line to your MWE works for me.

This is very much inspired by percusse's answer, from which I learned that at the time typeset cell gets executed the column and row are known, so that one can use simple \ifnums to do things depending on the column and/or row.
