Default 4th gen fog light screw replacements?

basically those three screws that u need to take out to replace the fog light bulb on my fog lights are rusted and the head philips head is nearly stripped because of the rust. i can't find the measurements even here:

does anyone know where i can get a replacement of those screws?
i went to autozone with one of the screws and its just too small.
i even went to home depot.

I ended up getting mine from Lowes or Home Depot I dont remember which. But I just got some screws of the same diameter and then cutting them down to the right size with a pair of dykes. Its not very hard metal, you should be able to cut them down to any size.

i can't even find the same screws of the same diameter. i was just at home depot. i know that they obviously must be in MM and not standard measurements.

I had to go to a speciality nuts and bolts shop to get the proper size.
