Icon2 Oil in spark plugs, stripped bolts, etc.

So there was a ton of oil in my spark plugs when i went to change them. So i decided i would follow this video and replace o-rings and other parts so to stop oil leakage:


I had a problem with 2 of the bolts being stripped and i could not get them off. I ended up buying one of the bolt off kits to get them off, but now i have stripped bolts so i need new ones. Can i buy replacements at o'reillys or autozone something like that? One of the 10mm bolts was stripped so i need a new one. And one of the 12mm bolts that are longer. at 7:51 in the video he says "don't forget about these guys. I wasn't able to get those 2 off because i don't have any deep well sockets. I will buy some, however one of those long 12mm bolts is stripped too. Where can i get replacements for these bolts, and what exactly are they called? I'm new to this so i don't know much about cars.

If you head down to your local honda dealership, the parts guys in the boutique are usually knowledgeable enough to track down the part numbers of the bolts with you. Just let them know that theyre the rocker arm bolts or w/e and they have all the diagrams available to see. Shouldn't be much of an issue.

Your best bet is probably the junkyard.
